Epic GT3 Action at Monza

This is pretty standard behaviour from Italians on trackdays (& on the road too!) TBH. They do treat it like a race and (particularly at the 'ring, IME) they will often be the ones crashing or causing others to crash. Overtake either side, under brakes & into/through/out of corners: all normal stuff. BMW M3s are the ones we watch out for...

When BaT went to Imola a couple of years back, a bunch of Italians in Elise racecars called the cops to get Jonny arrested when he tried to reign them in for racing each other. Turns out you can't mix road cars & race cars on a trackday in Italy by law. Organiser is subject to € 50,000 fine as I recall!

I remember having an old guy in a small white van of some kind repeatedly trying to drive a foot off my bumper on an Italian motorway on that Imola trip. I was in the 993 & there was lots of traffic so I'd overtake, zoom off up the road & then be held up while Mr WhiteVanMan maintained a foot to the floor flat out 160KPH - must have gone on for 100Km until he had to turn off. :roll:

Yup, we could write a book and probably put together a pretty decent
montage of clips showing appalling, thoughtless driving on many a track day.
As you say, the Italians are notoriously bad...that Imola day was ruined by a
handful of absolute *****. Remember that orange 962 at Spa, chopping up
Cunno on the inside line going through Pouhon ?. Jon had the footage on his
go pro, and Jonny kicked the idiot out. For sure this guy in the 991 GT3 can
peddle...but he can't continually assume that everyone is going to get out of
the way, he's just an accident waiting to happen...lets hope that he doesn't
involve anyone else on it when it happens.
:nooo:
 
I do wander how he'd get on if he had to change gear himself :?:

I certainly never realised that the McLaren 12c was THAT fast in a straight line over a GT3! :eek:

616HP in the Mclaren Vs 475HP in the GT3.
