BRM-
I think that's the next level up. Ham-fisted and inept unsettling of the car is one stage up from nervous mincing around. I'm thinking of the drivers who have been told only to brake in a straight line, and stick to that advice, then go round the corner without pressing the accelerator at all, wait until the car's straight, and then boot it. Rinse and repeat for a couple of laps, then selfies and moody B&W photos.

Not on that type of helmet. That's only if you've got full-on personalised kit - suit, gloves, carbon helmet with custom paint job - with your own vanity 'team' name on it, an eye-wateringly expensive special edition street racer (think Ferrari Scuderia, GT3RS etc) and absolutely no ability to drive quickly whatsoever.
This species of trackdayist is often seen at RMA track days, particularly at Spa, where the favoured driving style is full beans down the straights, brake early and gently as soon as a corner is spotted, and then take all the bendy bits at a brisk walking pace. Do that for 10 minutes, then come into the pits, pose in your customised race gear for selfies you can post on your wide range of exquisitely-currated social media streams.
If you're driving an overpowered hairdresser's car, however, no-one cares about your blood type.
