It's not skill that kept him from wadding up his car or someone else's... it's pure luck. If you manhandle the throttle and wheel like that, it's obvious you haven't a CLUE how to drive properly. He was way out of his league and lucky it only ended up with those who know tossing him out.
I'm prepping a vintage XKE for the track and I pray this guy or someone like him won't be there when I am. Vintage racing is more gentlemanly as it's usually very skilled drivers who know that writing a check doesn't always mean you can replace the car- some are not replaceable.

No, it's a bunch of rich guys that go out and put around a track and be very careful because of the fact the cars they are driving aren't replaceable. That's not racing. The guys that drove those very cars back in the day were the real men and they weren't worried about smashing them up. Sorry but there are too many prudes these days for my liking in the car world. I comment this gentleman for enjoying his car as intended. If he was such a danger then why didn't the instructor pull him in earlier? Why wasn't the supposed professional Porsche driver kicked off too? He should have know better, but he was driving the same way. If you are going to mess with speed you could die. That's why you sign your life away when you do these events.
