Punting Your Fellow Club Racer Into The Barrier Is A Dick Move
At the VAG Trophy meeting last weekend at Brands Hatch, a Golf GTI driver aggressively shoved a competitor from behind, sending him flying into a barrier
For pushing Darelle Wilson’s VW Scirocco off track, Golf driver Toby Bearne was excluded from the entire race meeting, costing him two victories. He also had six points added to his racing license.
It’s important to remember with videos like these, that unlike when we see an incident at a higher level of motorsport, there aren’t huge, well-funded teams behind the racers to stick the cars back together. Getting back on track after a big accident is something that costs the competitors a great deal of money and heartache, which is why needlessly aggressive behaviour like this is such a sad thing to see in club-level motorsport.
We hope Wilson can get himself back out racing soon.

Any more info on the car and the driver? Just want to know if the idiot has been a gentleman and give him a shell?
I don’t think it was necessarily on purpose, but it was a pretty massive error in judgement! Hope the Scirocco driver/team can get the car/another car set up and out on track again without it costing them too much.
Thats what playing any race in a public lobby (project cars, forza, etc)
was für ein Arschloch
LEWIS!!
If you can’t afford to set it on fire and walk away from it without a second thought you shouldn’t be racing it. Crap happens and dicks who will put you in the wall without a second thought are everywhere, so welcome to motorsport where sometimes your toys get destroyed.
Damn, didn’t know Mercedes would allow Nico to drive a VW!
The one who crashed it should pay since he is the one who pushed him. All those effort, time and money just wasted on one crash. Heartbreaking
