Would you say his driving is a bit reckless or is this just normal? Never been on track or the likes but to me it seems a bit hit and hope in some corners and straights or is this just me?

Proper wringing the neck out of that Clio, but seems to give everybody enough room.

The bare arms and OMP gloves remind me of that YouTube guy who drove his Clio 172 or whatever it was around town with racing gloves on

Lotus Elise 111R

Driving seemed ok. But the fact it was his 2nd lap and he has a stop watch right in front of him suggests to me he's a bit of an accident waiting to happen at the ring.

Seems alright, he's committed... clearly chasing times - but didn't see anything too bad.

The Nurburgring is a bit like that... a lot more hectic than a standard track day.

I found the Clio one a bit boring. Bloody hell a truck.

yep bit of a stupid thing to do at the ring especially if its only your 2nd lap. This is what leads to accidents there and the very reason they banned stopwatches.

Apart from that it looked ok, driving itself seemed fine, but as said wouldnt surprise me to see him in the armco, only takes one small misjudgement and not many of the corners are what i would call conventional track corners = $$$

same could be said going at a normal speed there though. It may of only been his second lap but he looked like he knew the track.

I wouldnt say there was anything reckless.

IMO hes driving the car too hard, the car is under steering (from the 3 and half minutes watched) and hes only making progress through aggression. Which in the instance of chasing the quickest times may not be detrimental but its the quickest way to help kill your car one way or another. I think if he braked a bit earlier and drove the car a lot smoother then he would be equally as quick.

Would i drive my daily that hard at the ring (or any other track tbh) i doubt it.
