At ~6:03 the GT3 drove around a turn-in cone
at ~6:15 
He actually blew his horn at a slower car at 6:45
Out of control student with an instructor who clearly doesn't have control of him or the situation. Also, the GT3 was also at fault for continuing to play games out there. Driving around a turn-in cone? Just give the idiot the point and let him go or pit-in and come back out.

The Horn blow thing was funny and most indicative of his red mist. He honked like a road rage driver coming through.......
Although in interested of full disclosure, I have done that when a dude is in the advanced group, is super slow, and refused to point by after half a lap.
I noticed this too, the Vette accelerated significantly faster on the infield but they were pretty much dead even on the banks until mr road rage lifted.

Sometimes when I run in an advanced group and it seems to be out of hand out there (e.g. too careless/aggressive, lack of enforcement, etc..) I just volunteer to run in the Intermediate group instead where point-by-passing is mandatory. Less risk, more fun for me... in the end though, the group that organizes this should be culpable in warning/enforcing/black flagging reckless drivers.
Point is, you're out there to improve driving skills, be safe and have fun at it... I couldn't care less if I let a Miata pass me. It's not a race.

The only thing even worse is when the 'race car' group is allowed on track; then it's a complete free for all.

The instructor was encouraging the stupid driving, when dufus tries the up and under move at about 5:55, as he dove inside and took the inside line right before heading onto the banking the instructor goes "woo!".

As Nissan, GM, Porsche and the rest continue to build monster safety nets around these insane cars, we will continue to get the Forza crowd at the track looking to dominate from day one and they will rarely be punished because they can go super fast many times without consequence because of all the nannies. I've instructed plenty of guys who wouldn't survive 5 minutes in their car without the nannies. It's a shame really.

Wtf did I just watch, that was brutal lmao. The honk had me cracking up. Guy couldn't find a single driving line and just stabs the throttle 100%. I seriously have only seen that bad of driving on Gran Turismo online.
This comment on YT was gold: "the instructor was amazing. No need to speak, just uses Jedi hand signals to communicate, "this isn't the line you're looking for"
In all seriousness that was beyond dangerous and a black flag needed to be thrown. If it wasn't for the hoosiers and nannies that car could of been a write off. Instructor had no business letting that go either.

Looks like even the GT-R dove off-track to avoid an impromptu run to the checkered...
Then...
High fives, all around.

Ahahahahaha, I did notice the GT-R go off, I could see everyone exiting the track when this guy came through honking and cussing............
But he (The GTR) did miss the apex at the end of the banking which begs the question......
CAN ANYONE IN THIS GROUP DRIVE?
