One thing that sticks out is that the mclaren was (supposedly) aggressively passing in corners... which is, in general, a major trackday 'no no'.

I was at a trackday many years ago where they removed a driver due to passing in corners.. Someone who was supposed to be in advanced, riding beginner and intermediate, and "razzing" people in the corners.

I'm curious what the mclaren gopro shows.

i never understood this... would you care more if it were someone on a motorcycle? someone is a civic?

do you give no fucks if someone, who races on a track, crashes (where it is safer then racing on the streets)?

the expense of the car shouldn't matter ... you can still show some compassion for your fellow car nut.

The guy sounds like a huge douche. So no, I still don't care.

I feel bad for the guy with the BRZ.

"A Mclaren was crashed at the track today. And while it looks totaled to me, thats not the craziest part!
The rumor from the corner workers is that the guy crashed his Mclaren recently at the same track and today's car is the loaner based on the dealer plates he was using. Unbelievable!"

its causing quite a commotion at Jalopnik.... in the comment section, some ppl said the editor/writer is bias for the "little guy" on the subaru and took the easy route and blame the rich guy in the McLaren.

From the description the driver of the McLaren was driving like an epic douche.

ya, and the in Comment section, people are actually defending the 'douche' and calling the editors and writer of Jalponik for fudging the facts....


the truth lies in that GoPro camera.

But a ton of the comments defending the douche are one and dones as well.. I'm a little shocked there's no other video out there from anyone else.
