Default I don't know the track but why are they not tracking out at that point but instead...

Seem to be trying to keep a tight line through there?

Also why are they casually getting out of the car on a hot track?

Default Seriously, NEVER get out of the car until instructed to do so by safety!

Unless (obviously) a fire or risk of same.

Default I've been to a few track events in Europe and they tend to be much more casual...

an extreme example being in the Czech Republic...no helmets required, no instruction, no rules. Just have fun and try to keep it off the Armco!

Default Driver wanted to overtake the TT, going too fast, never hit the apex....

...and violated the basic principles we get drilled on at the events, and never set himself up properly for the righthander.
Two tons + 420 hp will bite you. His pi$$ing contest is over for sure.

I cringed when I saw that. Getting out of the car turns a AudiWorld vid into a Maximum Exposure vid.
