His resume actually makes it worse. He should have known better. The first thing they talk about to the drivers on tracks is the danger. THE. DANGER. If there are a bunch of civilians out there to see the fast cars go, you don't drive the fast car at it's limit. Sorry. Don't let common sense bother you.

And I've been on pro tracks too on a S1000RR so I can appreciate how quickly things can go bad without a cage around me. So please don't lecture me about being on a track. Things happen. My comment was in reference to your comment about him being unqualified to drive that car which we have shown he is not. People are making it sound like the guy is some sort of hack that got the car because he has more money than sense.

Yeah. MKSixer expects this exhibition to be just a stroll through the track. That's what people who attended want to see. A hyper car just cruising along.
I do give MKSixer one thing though. On a sighting lap, I would have been concerned about the safety measures set up by the organizers. But this is all a woulda coulda shoulda. Having a crowd, the adrenaline rush, and sure wanting to show off a little probably overcame his senses on what he should have done. I suspect many here wouldn't be so rational in that situation as I'm sure everyone here has driven their cars at the speed limit.
