A driver in the UK recently caused something of an upset while at the wheel of his girlfriend’s VW. The lad managed to sneak onto the Brands Hatch racing circuit while a race was actually underway. The youth drove through the pits area and as security was lax, made his way onto the track. His friend, also a passenger in the vehicle, filmed the escapade while his girlfriend screamed at him to get off the track. The youth was heard on the video saying to his passengers that he would claim he had become lost when questioned. The Brands Hatch owners were rather less than impressed by this incident and have vowed to beef up security and look likely to take action against the youth. Given that track days at the facility are not expensive, the youth may well regret his rather foolish and dangerous move for some on-track action.
