The tinny in-car Oasis soundtrack at the start is simply bizarre :lol:

Very possibly , I just cannot believe he hit him at the front ,
I thought he clipped him with his rear wing .

he pushed the Civic into the armco .

Seems like a complete tw&t to me. I know it's very easily done and red mist and all that, but never during any of those laps (and i did watch it the "right way up" on my laptop) did he seem like a courteous driver.

People like him are the reason track day cover is so expensive!

he was an idiot, even though the civic indicated left to allow him through he should have gone slower, he had brake fade too so too much corner speed......serves him right

feel sorry for the civic driver

+1 , if you get brake fade , you slow down using gears & handbrake , then pull off the circuit ..........not power out of the next corner .

Highly unfortunate.
However I've seen worse driving, but without the bad results. I think that if you are being overtaken you should be careful about where you place your car, because the overtaking car will often be going off its usual line and therefore may behave differently to when on the usual line for the corner. Very common to see accidents during or after an overtake, because the car overtaking is on a foreign line.
Hope all are okay and nobody's too upset..
The m3 driver shouldn't have been going so quick and pushing past everybody in such a rush otherwise this happens. However you'd be an idiot to go on track not expecting that this might well happen, and it's not the first time..
