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

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.

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.
