knob in a Caterham

What an angry man!
Must admit this has always been my big pet hate of trackdays, people who think they are more important or better than someone else, because of what they drive or how fast they can pedal it.
We've all paid the same fee to be there mate!
Oh and 10 out of 10 for thread title Bert. Made me chuckle.
Eta - Could it not be tounge-in-cheek though and he actually knows the Porsche drivers?
He's been watching Vettel's "finger" and mistakenly thinks it's right on...
See this thing a lot though from Caterham type cars at tracks who seem to just want to bait GT3s...I'm like f
k-off, I'm not interested in racing you or duelling around a circuit...stay away from me and don't go lunging down the inside of me thinking you're Chekko!! If you want to race and duel, go racing...

Very erratic driving. Would be much faster if he smoothed it out a bit!
The little lightweight stuff has to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck though Moll. They require a bit more twiddling and catching. I agree though with regard to his throttle inputs. Lead-foot Larry alright.
At all the track day briefings I've been to there's a bit about "if someone's caught you up it means they can lap faster than you, but they may be slower on the straights, so when you get to a straight, lift off and let them past" - doesn't look like the Porsche drivers heard that bit....

Indeed, always better to let them go and focus on what you're doing rather than what he may do next. I saw this at Spa last month when a Ferrari got distracted, by another car immediately behind him, going through Blanchimont and he lifted which immediately spat him headfirst into the left side Armco.PF
Very true Goose! The Porsche drivers weren't blameless, but giving everyone the finger is a very juvenile reaction.
Lots of adrenaline and egos at trackdays though. I can't be arsed with that side of it. Was the same on the motorbikes years ago too.
I'm more of a "Last and alive" man these days.
