Seems like other Renault owners don't like my aggressive driving.

Cliosport has always been full of wierdos.
Those 2 clio's needed the cambelt changed twice in the space of that clip.

They were going ridiculously slow. I'd perhaps of stayed back until straight, people like that are unpredictable and may cut across into your path.
That's why no overtaking on corners exists, it's not about your ability but as you are on track with all skill levels some people would cut in. Saying that iv done it before and they were going stupid slow, should have been blue flagged

They were going stupidly slowly I don't blame you at all for doing that overtake despite not supposed to overtake on bends. Where is the place they're calling you a twat? Forum or youtube video?

Cliosport & Renaultsport Forums.
I know I drive hard but it was dry and Bedford is one of the safest tracks. There was alot of people that didn't push or use the track particularly well so I used that to my advantage.
Think I'll stick to normal trackday were the experience is a little higher.
And Ben the corner is a very sweeping corner so when someone is off the line so much there is ample space.

It's more of a slight bend in a straight than a corner I'd say

If its on a no overtaking zone then don't overtake.
The briefing doesn't say here are some rules but if you fancy, you may break them.
Did the red Clio have to change his path when you came through? Not sure where you'd have gone if he'd have take the correct line.

Kinda my thinking, people that are clearly new to it like them are unpredictable
