What was he thinking?

Footage from a recent "accident" at Cadwell in the MSVT Team Trophy, it's been mentioned on another thread but I thought it deserved one of it's own .

Do people really forget that they are just taking part in a hobby, having fun at the weekend etc?

Licence endorsement apparently.

I don't see the Porsche brake testing the Clio on the way into Barn, I think he was just slowing the car as the track appears greasy and not all cars/drivers will turn in to Barn with just a lift, even in the dry.

On the other hand I don't see a tap from the Clio either. The Porsche turns in early and clips an early apex but then holds it tight while apparently getting on the power, you can see it oversteer while still close to the apex kerb and well before the Clio is close enough to have touched. The oversteer pushes the Porsche wide and allows the Clio to start to pull alongside; looks like a well taken opportunity to me.

The view from behind does show the Clio clipping the grass but track limits is another thread and it's no indication of dangerous driving in this case IMO, more just more a case of grabbing a chance to get by a car that had been blocking (apparently illegally) for a number of laps.
