Seen on the BBC News website.
Two guys were booked into Oulton Park for a track day, they arrived early and thought they would take their 911 motors for a blast around the Welsh countryside.
They headed to the Evo Triangle but were frustrated by all the speed cameras so they moved on.
On the B4501 they videoed their driving and they uploaded the vids onto Youtube where the boys in blue saw the vid.
Max speeds of 116 mph were noted along with a plethora of other road offences needless to say their appearance in Court followed.
Both guys were given 8 month custodial sentences (suspended), banned for 18 months, ordered to take an extended driving test, and given 200 hours of community service together with court costs.
The guys no longer own their 911 cars.
Stupid is as stupid does.

At least they would have got a good price for their 911's.

According to the Daily Mail, one of the two individuals is (soon to be was) a Ryanair pilot. Hope he has more respect for the rules of the air.

I used to see that yellow Spyder around all the time as the guy must not live far form me. Got to say, it was always being driven reasonably.
Joe Achilles getting done a few years back was the warning shot for videos like this unfortunately. Amazingly though you have guys like DMOdeejay and LivingLifeFast uploading far worse plus literal street racing and they never seem to have their collar felt?

Not condoning this in anyway but from that video the driving seems as calculated as it could be.
High speeds in open areas with clear visibility and seemingly good road conditions. A danger to no one but themselves.
And yes I’m aware of the impact on emergency services if one of them crashed.
But to film it and upload to the internet…
