An example of appalling track etiquette

A wally in a Cosworth powered Caterham simply refuses to allow me to overtake in my beat up old Toyota MR2 Mk1 Supercharger at a trackday at Cadwell Park

nice video with a nice sounding car mate, i gree that chap is abit of a wally, but arent you taking the whole trackday thing abit too seriously?? come on, sector times ffs?!! if you want to go racing, get a race license! thats just how accidents happen when people start getting too serious.....

I'm hoping to start doing trackdays (yes in a Caterham, when it arrives) but it's guys like you that put me off. I'll be a novice, a newbie, whatever you want to call it, and guys like you would dash my confidence and enjoyment. People go to trackdays to drive their car like they can't do on the road; not to do time trials. Your "make sure nobody gets in my way, or else" attitude gives enthusiasts and car lovers a bad name. I'm sure you weren't driving @ 100% on your 1st track day! Be Reasonable

We've all been stuck behind someone, which is frustrating but better than having to put up with the idiots that try and overtake in the braking areas

Is there some reason you didnt honk your horn?

[Straightsix76]

you should have gotten closer to him - then he would have got the message

It's a shame, but almost all track day sessions are filled with far too inexperience drivers..

On the other hand, the driver in front has corner speeds that were 10 to 20 MPH off yours. IDK what the session rules are on that track, but I would have been showing a nose a lot more. IMO it looked like the driver wanted you to pass him on the entry to a few different corners. That's hard to do when your hanging back as far as you where. Ether way, he should have moved on the straight. Just saying.

its against the rules to time your laps on trackdays or are you the sheriff of cadwell?

This is why i hate track days....but in order to be fair, we must share right? I really would like to run individual time trials though. Kind of like a test and tune day the drag boys have.

You re on a track day. If you think you are so fast go racing.
