That elise driver is a tool. He should been taken off the track for those reckless stunts.

Looks fun, but I wouldn't like to be out there with him. That first move was not safe.

I don't know if out maneuvers is a good word for what he did. He looked to be driving fairly reckless. The F40 was clearly taking it more leisurely than the Elise driver.

its funny to see the ferrari fly past on every straight though. i certainly wouldnt be taking chances and throwing around a car as expensive as that just to show up some punk in an elise.

Yeah, it seemed that the Ferrari owner was showing him what kinda of power he had in the straights, but was backing off in the corners. I agree...I wouldn't risk damaging such a nice exotic just to show up the elise in the turns. Risky drivers like that are the ones that can ruin an event for all involved. I guess the Ferrari eventually backed off from the Elise as he stopped showing up in the video?

Ha Ha, I remember years ago someone posted a video of an S2000 on some european track chasing a Ferrari 360 doing similar things. If memory serves me right, the S2000 driver didn't receive such harsh response from here and many people(fanbois?) here actually think the S2000 "beat" the Ferarri.
