This genius claims to be a racing driver. His driving style is probably some of the worst I've seen, no regard for safety.

The on-line comments are ripping him a new one, what is everyone's thoughts here?
 
Three things immediately strike me:
1. Gloves but no helmet? (I know a helmet isn't a requirement but, just seems a weird priority)
2. Positively dangerous/uncaring around crashes and yellow flags - even overtaking a few times
3. Can't seem to get a hang of FWD lift off oversteer without making a meal of it. Noticed that the other RS Meganes aren't all over the place...
 
He is really promoting himself as a tool and should be restricted from using the ring tbh. It's people like this who ruin it for everyone.
 
Not sure how he managed to save it each time he lost it, his arms look a lot like mine when I loose it and I **** my pants with my eyes shut and prey, maybe thats what he was doing too.

(I don't claim to be a racing driver)
 
He may well be a racing driver, doesn't mean he's a good one :p

Having got to about halfway into the footage now I'm impressed with his continual demonstrations of the 'fast in, slow out' cornering technique with oversteer-understeer-oversteer thrown in there too.
 
Watched first 1min 30, lost the back end 4 times? in a FWD? how? And then the f4th time he lost the back end nearly ploughed into a marshal sort of car attending to another car.

What a ****ing clown.
 
Its not that he is oblivious to the yellow flags he is one of those idiots who sees them but then doesn't react to them until he sees the actual reason for them - rather than anyone with half a brain who realises they are flagging for a reason and acts with caution until clear of the danger.
