LOL he can feel his internal organs being pushed to the back of his body. Ive never had that feeling before. Then again, Ive never driven/ridden in a supercar

The thing i dont understand is...how did the Evo manager to stay in front of him?

cause it wouldnt get out of the way you can hear them complaining about it,also knockhill isnt a power track so the lambo couldnt get its speed up enough and when it did it was in the braking area and some how i dont i would even try to outbrake an over enthusiastic evo driver in a 130k car

That other car (R32 Skyline GTR) didn't have much problem passing the Evo.

The R32 did it on the straight quite easly, a 500hp+ lamborghini should be able to do the same without much effort or risk.

Plus if they are that worried about the car getting damaged then why are they even on the track at all, and if they want to play it safe why are they complaining about the Evo then, just relax.

rule at knockhill is,if the car behind you is faster than you,pull to the left and let them by". in the video the evo was faster down seat curves(duffers) and round mcintyres and butchers as it isnt as wide as a lambo and can carry more speed,but the lambo was faster down brabham straight and railway,but isnt able to carry enough speed round the hairpin and up the start and finish straight.if you watch it you can see the lambo catchs it down railway but on the exit of the hairpin the evo gets a "boost" out of it and the lambo isnt catching it till its going under the bridge which is when you need to straight braking at knockhill.then after another lap of so the lambo was fairly keeping up with the evo but it wasnt moving over far enough so the lambo to get by safely.
Trackdays arent meant to be competive,just abit of fun but if someone isnt sticking by the rules of letting someone faster past then you would get rather annoyied too ,was at a trackday last year when someone in a pulsar gti-r was passing people in the corners(knockhill rules say you can only pass on the straights) annoyed the other drivers that much they kicked them off the track.

Then they Lamborghini driver should have sat a little closer, most the time he was quite behind a distance and only in certain fast sections had to let off. If he applied some more pressure then yes the Evo should yeld but the way it was the Evo probably felt he had better pace.
