Id say he would have been level or more if he hadnt tried to take evasive action and scrubbed a lot of speed off

I think thats what threw the radical driver, you dont need to take a racing line, yet oddly the golf was doing that.
If the Golf was taking the racing line, what line was the Radical taking and why?? Must have been the quickest way to go that they both went for that spot.

So why was the Golf taking that line??
The gap wasn't all that big in the 1st place, and the Golf didn't seem to move over much.

The camera makes it look less, the golfs position was right over the right hand side, there couldnt have been more gap. As to why the golf was taking that line, who knows

Balls, id say he was more over to the left than the right, then moved over slightly to the left for the bend.

Also you say the left is for overtaking yet the radical does it multiple times on the right, even on corners

Yes left is for overtaking, havent looked at the rest of the vid, if the radical was doing it on the right, thats not good either

Id class that as a bend too tbh..
I dont do track days, but to me he looks like a very fast but inconsiderate driver...

Agree with it being golfs fault.
Also think other car was driving way to fast compared to speed of others.. So other car may not have had a chance to see him.
Complelte prick to keep going afterwrds

It's the risk you take when you go on track. I check my mirrors a lot, so I reckon I might of seen the car coming from behind.

Golf had plenty of chance, I dont think people are watching the radicals footage closely enough, the golf comes into view ages before he "appeared"
The gap was fine when he went to go past also, the golf closed him out, by that point he couldnt avoid it!

BTW my view would be different if this happened on a corner, this wasnt a corner though.

something that requires you to slow down and adjust your line mainly

Yes I am, theres no need to adjust his line because its not a corner, its a very slight gradient in the road that you would treat as straight which = looking out for other stuff coming from behind!

I think if he tried to go along there without turning/adjusting his line he would hit the armco
