Default Some poor driving at the ring

Seen this on another site and thought I'd share. I think this guy was very lucky to get round in one piece.

That would actually take some skill to pretend to be that bad!

If I was in the passenger seat, I think I'd be having a gentle word

Pathetic. All 'point and squirt'. Driving ability worthy of a Relaint 3 wheeler.
Pity he didn't crash - one less prat with more money than skill on the roads.

I doubt we'll see him on the M25.

Thank God BMW spend so much time in R&D on driver aids! They probably saved this guy a lot of money!

Jesus, that is THE most talentless driving I have EVER seen.

The stability light is flashing through every corner, saving his arse.
Thats the yellow/amber led in between the clocks btw.

And almost every downshift he locks the back wheels - you can hear them chirp.



Yep its the E92 M3 (coupe)

Throttle was in binary. Full on or full lift off, no progression at all.

Really, the vid started at the "first" corner, at 9 minutes (when vid ends) he's at the beginning of that large straight. No way did he (or anyone else) get all the way down the straight and round the last few corners in 18 seconds
