rammed ? as in the bloke in the mini deliberately drove into him ?
Or there was an accident/mistake and one car hit another car ?
Edit....It's on FB, someone posted about being hit by a mini at the weekend, he didn't elaborate.
Probably just means crashed into him, he didn't use the word rammed, I did.
I'm sure if you look about there will be track days dedicated to porsche, ferrrari owners etc who shall be a bit more responsible and won't let other lesser mortals on the track at the same time*.
I mainly just used to attend the 'Run what ya Brung' events which was a free for all and quite cheap.
* - might struggle to get above 70mph though, can ferrari's do 70mph in second gear?...

Funnily enough, some of the most angry, aggressive and reckless racing I've ever seen is club yacht racing.
These blokes/teams are plodding away at about 6mph going absolutely berserk and getting within inches of each other (and not infrequently crashing) because they all think they're in the right. The tempers, egos and shouting over who is right and who is wrong is spectacular, followed by complaints being lodged afterwards and much heated debate.
I stopped doing it, I don't have the temper capacity for all that shouting and no violence
I'd second that. It was as a client/industry day out on the Solent in three-person keelboats (I think). Very competitive with frayed tempers. Fucking boring racing.

Worst I've seen was Scalextric racing, with actual fisticuffs over racing toy cars.

Any moons ago I attended a Ferrari day at Silverstone.
An F40 got t boned by a 308gts, and the tractor got a good workout pulling cars out of the gravel all day.
I've found that testosterone, inexperience and race courses to be a bad mix.
