So while JP and the young rocket kids do that it "thrills" the mob who want more because it is "entertaining" and they F1, BTCC .... don't have to pay for the damage out of their own pockets. If they had to suffer the consequences of their actions directly ie pay for damage to their car, feel the full weight of proper administration of the regs then "maybe" they would set a better example to JP and the impressionable who "maybe" would eventually appreciate what proper sportsmanlike racing is all about.
