This Is What Happens When You Combine A Track Day With An Idiot

This video shows the potential pitfalls of taking your car on track, as the Fiesta camera car gets wiped out by a Clio carrying far too much speed through a corner

Track days offer some of the biggest fun you can have in your car. The track is a place to stretch your car’s limits, check out how well performance mods are working and enjoy a bit of banter with mates in other cars.

But as soon as someone starts breaking the rules, all hell can break loose. On a notorious Oulton Park bend, which the organisers had warned the day’s drivers about, a Renaultsport Clio 182 apparently driven by Captain Jean-Luc Picard attempting to achieve warp 9 smashes into the side of the camera car, momentarily lifting the Clio onto two wheels. The impact kicks both cars off track.

This Is What Happens When You Combine A Track Day With An Idiot

The Fiesta camera car is slowly moving back towards the inside of the track when the furiously-driven Clio appears. Given that track days in the UK all seem to stipulate very clearly that overtaking on bends is not kosher, there’s no excuse.

Apparently, according to a post on YouTube, the driver in question was already on a warning for his behaviour. We don’t think he’ll be back at Oulton Park any time soon.

Silly Clio driver. I hope they had track day insurance. No doubt he’ll be banned from that circuit and any other tracks associated to the organisation.
