ouch to that vid clip :o . Looks to me that the guy lost the GTO before he saw the stranded EVO by the slow replay? You can hear the car slipping away as he tries to load it a bit early - and then slaps the armco with his ar$e end - which sort of stops him completing probably the same spin as the evo driver? It is a frightening place in the wet ain't it? I remember going round in a mates 5 series when it was peeing down and a gallardo absolutely flashing past just on the rise after the mini carousel. Barmy.....

Interesting overlay. To be honest the Evo was driving very aggressively, we where told that overtaking was by consent ie indicate to the right and pull across to allow the car behind through. The M3 didn't indicate and the Evo forced it's way through the previous cars and then got clouted. The more I look at it the M3 was on the wrong line, braked and lost the back into the corner and collected the Evo which should not have been there.

Yes he was, but i can see how he made that mistake as the BMW did pull sharply to the right (i'd of taken that as moving out the way) just before pulling back to the left, but cant defend him for driving like a knob.

Checked the website for the camera system £900+

We will see...anyone who has a orange Evo sign written with Titan Internet plus all the carbon bits you can think probable doesn't take criticism well. According to him the M3 driver drove off and then legged it from the Trackday.

Yeah saw he'd written that... i think the M3 driver probably got a load of abuse after the video cut off so probably thought it was best to leg it !
