It seems like an ordinary motorsport event at Britain's former Grand Prix track, Brands Hatch.
But all is not as it should be…
(Commentary: "Why is there a Volkswagen Golf on the track?”)
As a prank, 22-year-old Jack Cottle drove his girlfriend's car onto the circuit while a race was in progress.
Egged on by a friend, Cottle did one lap before pulling over.
Over two million people have watched it on YouTube.
But it's no laughing matter: the judge sentenced Jack to eight months in prison to deter others.
