e: ^^^^^ I was very clear to state "in terms of your wallet only" when talking about using public roads.
Indeed. Not everyone can afford BMW rates for repairing or replacing a car like that.
I believe you can get trackday insurance. If there was a trackday where such insurance was mandatory and you could claim off the idiot who hit you I'd be more keen on going.

yeh sounds awesome, you sure it might not be the skyline in front of the M5, don't know what the skyline sounds like so I can't tell!
Being an inline 6 it sounds nothing like a V8, that's for sure.

Its going to hurt your wallet a lot more due to dodgy road surfaces, trees , stone walls , ditches and oncoming traffic.
No run off areas, marshalls or emergency and recovery services at hand on the roads.
But then again this is OcUK motors were everybody is a 'driving god'
having just had a quick listen on youtube, I see what you mean
, the skyline is a lot rougher and sharper while the beamers V8 is deeper and has a growl

You don't need to be a "driving god" in order to drive on a public road without wrapping your car around a tree or hitting oncoming traffic. Short of highly unlikely events like a landslide falling on your house the only danger to your car that you do not create yourself if that of some idiot doing something stupid, which is equally likely on the public road or on a track.
For the record I don't drive like a lunatic on the public road. There are plenty of roads around here that a suitable for safe, fun and legal driving, the sole point of my post is that events like that in the video are one reason why many people do choose to drive like a nutter on public roads.
And to be frank, the fact that we're even having this discussion; and are prepared to think about and discuss what driving is and isn't appropriate; already puts us above the average road user. Doesn't mean we're not still crap at driving though.
I agree with what you are saying.
My point is that the guy in the video when he ran out of talent 'got away' with it this time because he was on a track.
However, on the road he , and possibly whoever he may of collided with , may not have been so fortunate.
No doubt he learned a valuable lesson in car control in those conditions by a hefty smack to his wallet for some dents and scatches to both cars.

all i can say is least the skyline didnt cop it
EXACTLY what i was thinking!
That guy shouldnt be aloud on a track, if he cant drive it like that then what would he be like on the street?!? The speed and width of that corner he was going round was like a huge roundabout lol.
Being a gentleman and paying £4000+ to repair the M3, or ****ing off and paying for nothing...
Hmmm...i'm guessing i know what most people would choose.
