Reminds me of a track day I did back in 2004 iirc, at Donnington Park, and I couldn't shake off this Focus that was giving it absolute 'DEATH' for lap after lap.
I commented to the driver and his mate when we both came into the pits that he was driving it well.
They both grinned when I further commented about the suits hanging up in the back....."yea, we're on our way to York in this hire car for the weekend.
The tyres and engine were smoldering.
