This is why you don't buy a GTR expecting to become a better driver.

Am I the only one who thoroughly enjoyed watching this video haha, i was laughing the entire time thinking "This guy is really doing this and is thinking he is driving his ass off" . Wins in the comedy department for me.

Saw that on rennlist yesterday and got a huge laugh. I can barely figure out all the dash button stuff sitting still, let alone start pressing stuff/buttons on track.

Hahahhahaha. Too funny.

Try that in a race car or in a Miata and watch it get wadded up faster than the candy wrapper from fat kid.

Missed the video, but having read the Jalopnik article, I have to wonder who solo-approved this asshat. If it weren't for the downright dangerous things he did around other cars and the rumored collision, I would have assumed anyone driving this poorly on video was doing it intentionally as some sort of joke.

I also can't imagine what possessed the owner to even temporarily post this video. I'd ask wtf he was thinking, but that would seem to be the smallest of his errors in judgment.

Here's hoping someone downloaded the video before it was removed and will reupload it.

Don't be surprised...money does wonders!

I've never seen a well driven GTR. As bad as the drivers I've seen are...I couldn't imagine how well these would do in capable hands!

Video is back:



Decent annotations too, the error about calling the rumored victim a MacLaren MP12-C4 at the end withstanding.

Wow... how infuriating. Being a knob is one thing. Endangering the lives of others in another. Those passes were soooo reckless.

The most knobby thing he did was record himself and post it on the Internet.

Can't help but notice this was RHD. How embarrassing for those who actually know what they're doing.

How does RHD factor into this one way or the other? He was on a track in England, after all....
