Personally I think this is hilarious. The fact that they managed to get on the track does not make them the morons.
So, lets imagine for their next "funny stunt" they decide to do 100mph down you street for "a laugh", and crash into you and kill a member of your family. Now, tell me your reaction.Anyone this stupid, with as little care for anyone else needs the book throwing at them right now, before they do something that hurts someone else imo.
no harm done!Dr JonboyG said:
I am honestly surprised he made it out of the paddock unscathed. Had something like this happened at one of the events I race in here in the US (and tbqh it would be possible to do, what's going to stop it other than a track worker at pit out throwing themselves on the car), the t
t responsible would have been dragged from his car when he came back in and given an introduction to some mob justice.
But that wouldn't really happen would it. Would make the mob more of an idiot than him & more likely to have committed a worse crime than a youthful prank.t responsible would have been dragged from his car when he came back in and given an introduction to some mob justice. edo said:
He is a dick, but I am not quite sure I think he deserves to have our taxes spent on putting him in prison?
We live in a country where people are put into prison for saying mean things on facebook or looking at too many websites that the government don't agree with - Why on earth shouldn't someone who purposely and without remorse endangered lives be put in prison?edo said:

Quite. So what he did was a bit dangerous and stupid and he's a tit but jail time, really? The drug dealer who beat a friend of mine unconscious in a completely unprovoked attack got a suspended sentence. He should definitely go down for wearing that fvcking suit though.Steffan said:

There are far worse crimes that get so little in the way of punishment that this seems harsh.
He was a being a dick and deserved to be punished, but jail seems a waste of time and money. A ban or large fine would have been sensible.
I think that the sentence reflects the real concern that no one repeats this criminal,act. Sadly if nothing effectively was done then other idiots might fancy the few moments of notoriety that this has produced. Regrettably there are such idiots about. I think this was an entirely proper sentence reflecting the need to ensure that such acts are not repeated. I do hope it has that effect.He was a being a dick and deserved to be punished, but jail seems a waste of time and money. A ban or large fine would have been sensible.
Judge Martin Joy said the offence had to be dealt with severely to deter copycats.
“In my judgement the sentence must reflect the need to deter others who might be tempted to act as you did,” he said.
“I am satisfied it is so serious a non-custodial sentence is inappropriate. I consider suspending the sentence would be inappropriate.
“Immediate imprisonment is necessary to reflect the harm caused and culpability.”
“It is clear your actions were premeditated. Your behaviour was deliberate. It was inexcusable.
“When you came off you were laughing, while the lady was having a panic attack. She was taken to a medical centre.
I'm surprised he got a custodial sentance but its a sensible decision IMHO, the evidence was pretty damning, he wasnt dared into it as the Defence suggest and his girlfriend was screaming at him to stop well before the track. Makes you wonder what would have happened if the footage had never been uploaded to youtube....

This bellend was completely typical of the 'no regrets' having a 'laff' YOLO 'Dapper' fking stupid haircut Oi Oi! generation, and really needed to be made an example of in my opinion.
The judge obviously thought so too.
He should also be made to pay back every last penny of the £4200 he cost the organisers.
Let's see how fking hilarious he finds that.

He was not meant to be there, he took it upon himself to drive onto the track during a race and screw it up for all those who had spent a lot of time and money to be there.
The guy is a complete fvcking bell end but lets not pretend it was particularly dangerous. His passengers were probably safer on track than they were out on the road with him!fblm said:

I must have missed the part where the kid going on the track caused all the racing drivers to lose their eyesight?
No one went in to the back of him because professional racing drivers would have seen him from a mile away.
Are you familiar with Brands?No one went in to the back of him because professional racing drivers would have seen him from a mile away.
I'd watch the video again, Paddock could have been a disaster if someone had come through there full chat and they wouldn't have been able to see him until very late if at all.

I can see what people are saying about Burglars seemingly getting less etc and it maybe seeming a bit harsh. I suspect a lot of it is to do with the conversations that will happen in Wetherspoons
Convo A "E're mate you see that legend Jack Cottle, raced his polo on a track, funny as fk, bare banter innit and only got tagged up, shall we try it at Castle Combe?"
Convo B "E're mate, gotta feel sorry for that Jack Cottle Lad, 8 months inside for what e done, was only a larf, I fancied a crack but fk prison"
Is it a bit harsh that Jack Cottle is having an example made of him to get this lesson out there? Potentially. Do I care? Nope! Can't do the time, don't do the crime.

If it is so dangerous the tracks should surely have better security to stop someone just driving on though?
I just don't understand how it could be possible to drive onto a race track during a race.
The problem is security only works when every dumb option is covered. Nobody in their right mind should have attempted this. I just don't understand how it could be possible to drive onto a race track during a race.
I can't remember it being that slack in BSB, but this doesn't appear to have been controlled well and IIRC was a 4hr race drawing to a close?
