Good vid . I love track days . Yes you get dick heads wear ever you go . Track & road .
But if you are going to have a near miss then the track is the right place for it .
Plus all three drivers may of know each other and they was just having fun .
The only thing I have to say is they did it at the right place .

All 3 drivers do know each other and have over a 1000 laps experience between them

good set of lads that gave us newbies some good advise for our first time at the ring

Did they advise you to not follow the car in front too closely so as not to be blinded of what is coming up ahead ????

Lol about the X box . May be if u tried the playstation it may help more .
I still can not be leave iv misted 11pages dam there was some good banter on hear . Got a bit will u no with some member may be going to far with what there replies was but then that's the way it go's on hear . The member that started the link if he had put a vid of him or them racing on a street even if it was not other cars on the road you would of still be put down .
Sometimes you just can not win . I liked the vid . The blue car was lucky but I think he did a very good job getting out of it . And the black one will what can I say . He did not hit no other cars and pulled it off . Wether it was skill or just luck , anyway no one hit any one so it was a good day .
I see someone els put a vid up . Did get a bit boring. but as u say u did not no the track , & some of it is tricky. But u kept it clean and from what I see u made sure no1 got in your way . Good bit of driving . Like u sed u was not trying to be a racing driver u was out having fun . And u drove the car home . That the main thing . I like all the vids so far.

Never been on track, but I think the fact that all concerned drove away from the incident was more down to skillfull driving and quick reactions than luck. Anyway, I enjoyed watching the vids.

Some of us live on this side of the channel and travel backwards and forwards to the UK a few times a year and have done so for many years and don't see the Ring as such a big deal or feel the need to take pictures and video's every time we go to a track, I've even done a lap of the Ring with a bathroom sink and a push bike in the back of my Type R amongst other things The pics I posted earlier were from an MSA course day when I was doing my National 'B' licence in 2008 and the only reason I have those is because my wife bought them off the photographer.

I have loads of VHS videos of me and my mates back in the day on Bikes at Cadwell and Donnington and there may be the odd pic of us at the ring circulating amongst my friends that I don't see much of these days due to us being spread all over the world, you see I'm 48 and have been doing all of this stuff since my early 20's when many on here were probably just learning to ride push bikes with stabilisers.

Now I would continue but I have been around here long enough to know that there is no point as i'l just be on a hiding to nothing and you know the old saying, "don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

And I'm bored of all this stuff from the last time tubbs and co took the site in this direction and don't want to be part of the reason it goes that way again.

Wasn't blaming you directly, just saying I've no interest in being part of a playground hair pulling, face scratching / my dads bigger than yours type argument, and like I said going on track is no big deal anymore, i'm also not part of the "selfi" generation and don't get this obsession with self promotion on the various social media, bunch of sad ******* if you ask me, i'm from the generation where we just get out there and do it.
