Clio driver lets himself get too wound up. After a couple of laps he should have realised that the Elise wasn't going to pull over so should have left himself some space - if that meant coming into the pits then so be it. To be fair the Elise would have seen a large amount of blue flags had he done that at Oulton Park, probably even spoken too by the officials.

Clio boy should take up racing if he's so good.

Replied in the other thread. Elise driver showed poor etiquette by not pulling over IMO.

Bloods up - you always swear a lot if people don't pull in when they have an opportunity. There wasn't much in it, but the Clio looked faster and at the end of the day, it's not a race, so if someone is all over your *rse and filling up your rear view mirror, let them pass.

You just encourage them to risk stealing your line or piling into the back of you. If you think you are faster, but they are all over your rump in traffic, let them through and then re-take them to prove the point, or go all over their *rse.

I would get that in my 911, I'd give traffic a bit of space and you'd have guys in their bangers all over your arse - bit unerving when it's your pride and joy and you have to drive over 100 miles home in it. Hence me getting a £1k track car and trailering it there and not having to worry as much.
