Can't see me ever attending a vmax event seeing that. They have changed a lot over the last few years.
I'm suprised there hasn't been a statement / some form of spin doctoring by them on this.

The videos don't reflect well on the event - And I'm sure would discourage some of the more classy participants.

I just looked for vmax on twitter and found another video, looks like same event, which seems to show the LLF chap being attacked by another member of the public?

Imagine taking your Koenigsegg to the event only to have it damaged by these thugs fighting and falling over on it, or stamping on your front splitter because they don't like you or your car. You wouldn't be overly pleased.

‘Init bruv’ is extremely dated and is not how any young person has spoken for at least 10 years.
Just befause you have stopped using this particular term does not mean it is indicative of typical teenage London street gangs.
You get me blood?
You get me blud?
That was in Mary Poppins grandad

Oh and for anyone that cares about the cars Oliver Webb today broke the VMAX record with a run of 246.96mph in the Zachs Garage Koenigsegg Regera.
He has some industrial sized plums that lad, this and the SSC Tuatara 331mph run the other week.

oh my days how naughty they aren't even wearing masks or observing social distancing!

And not a hand sanitizer in sight. Which I imagine would be especially beneficial cos they keep sticking their feckin hands down their pants.

Is that cos they are all wayne kers?

That second clip I was really hoping for the guy in the brown jacket to lamp DMO, when DMO grabbed him it was a perfect opportunity for a left right on his fat jaw.

This punch up was nothing to do with the vmax event or type of people that attend.
It's a one off today
As posted on the thread there are multiple examples....keep digging, Comical Ali would be proud...

If that was my Bentley or Lamborghini or GTR that was next to the punch up and had people rolling over it, I'd be jolly upset. I'd probably have locked the doors and had a little cry....

Unbelievable behaviour - the fourth video is bizarre, the voiceover has to be someone taking the Michael, surely?!

Most of these YT "stars" come across as twits of the highest order. Why people watch this rubbish over the likes of Henry Catchpole is beyond me... Ironically, this incident will likely only serve to further boost their popularity and income.

Official word:
"vmax200 Like so many of you who attended our event today and for those who watched on social media, we were disgusted by the disturbance caused by a small minority of people at today’s event. We will not tolerate such behaviour and will provide full support to the authorities to enable them to identify and deal with the perpetrators. Vmax200 has been a friendly, good-spirited event for real car enthusiasts for over 18 years. We will ensure those who caused problems today will never return as we do not want them as part of our Vmax200 family. Thank you for the patience of those who came to enjoy their day on the runway and who were impacted by the minority few, and we were grateful for your understanding. We look forward to seeing you in 2021 when we will be making changes to ensure our events are only attended by people who come as friends to enjoy their day. Thank you all for your messages of support this evening."

Monky, maybe your absence is the root cause of the issue?

I guess "Leg Day" must have been on the second DVD.
