I'd say that in two and bit years of briefings been mostly virtual driving standards have generally for the first few hours of a day have gone to st almost irrespective of the operator. I for one hope old school in person full group briefings return for 2023.

Did a day a few weeks back at a different circuit with a different TDO that normally have very well run days where frankly in the first hour you'd have been forgiven for thinking it was a race day. The pitlane exit marshals after hour one took to basically bking everyone on the rules before letting each driver out.

TBH the Supra driver isn't that bad just looks like classic fast car inexperienced driver than them being ttish. Obviously more of a struggle on sessioned days where coming in isn't an option than open pit lane. Tis a shame that open pit lane is somewhere rare at Goodwood.

Cant say I've sen any difference in driving standards at all, and don't see how briefings have any impact on that anyway

Based on personal experience across multiple organisers I wouldn't say I've sen any difference in driving standards at all, and don't on line briefings having had any negative impact on behaviours

And I thought the Supra driver was an absolute knob, not just inexperienced with quick car in a straight line

Did you have “words” with the driver afterwards and did he not get out of the car?

I did speak to the driver afterwards, but I can't remember if he was in his car or not. I don't think that guy can be referring to me, I was in no way aggressive.
