The guy sounds like an idiot. It seems he could barely afford the car, can barely afford to fix it, and was driving it carelessly.

Classic example of why you should learn the basics before bringing your M car to the track.

As a former owner of the E92 M3, it pains me to see such idiot behind the wheel of a fine car. He has bigger problems than fixing the car. He needs some sense. Unfortunately, he can't simply save up for those...

He may be lacking car control, but the fact that he at least took it to the track makes him responsible.

Why is he an asshole? He's driving the car in a controlled environment, and is the only car on the track and is driving quite well. All the passengers with him in the car are wearing a helmet and he is just having some fun. Nothing asshole or stupid about that.

And also if you look at the second video, seems like he really knows what he is doing.

I watched the second video as well and would have to agree that he does seem to know what he's doing. Everyone on the internet is quick to make conclusions, maybe he's 25 and worked his ass off to save enough to own an m3, I have a lot more respect for that than some rich kid whose daddy buys them an m car as a first car and they wrap it around a pole.

That may have gone differently if he didn't have so much weight in the car - he was running with 300 extra lbs over the back wheels.
