To prank employees on their first day of work, the school hired Leona Chin, a professional rally-racing driver, to be the unlucky tutors’ first pupil. Chin, dressed up in a nerdy-looking outfit, spends the first half of the video pretending she’s a hopeless learner. Then, just as instructors are getting frustrated, Chin reveals her true talents—and the reactions are priceless. “The 3 employees you saw at the end loved it and laughed it off, but the guy in the blue shirt was not too happy. That’s why we didn’t have footage of him smiling,” Izmir Mujab, CEO of the media company behind the video, told TIME. _Read next:_ [_Watch Mariah Carey Kill at Car Karaoke on_ ](http://time.com/3759655/mariah-carey-car-karaoke-james-corden/?iid=time%5Freadnext)[The Late Late Show](http://time.com/3759655/mariah-carey-car-karaoke-james-corden/?iid=time%5Freadnext) ### The Wildest Concept Cars of 2014  Anybody can take Chevy's Chaparral 2x Vision concept car for a spin — anybody with Gran Turismo 6 for the Sony PlayStation, anyway, where the car is a playable download. Gene Blevins—LA DailyNews/Corbis  One day, we'll all finally get to ride those light-cycles from Tron. For now, there's Toyota's FV2 concept car. Joe Klamar—AFP/Getty Images  Doors? Where you're going in the Smart Brabus FourJoy concept car, you don't need doors. Bloomberg/Getty Images  The pickup truck hasn't really changed much in decades — until Volkswagen took it on with this Tristar concept car, which takes a pickup and makes it super offroad-friendly. Fabian Bimmer—Reuters/Corbis  Nissan's 3-seat electric BladeGlider concept car might actually make it to production, pretty rare for a concept car this wild. If a Jedi Knight drove a car, it would be the BladeGlider. Gene Blevins—LA DailyNews/Corbis  Toyota hasn't said much about its high-riding C-HR Concept crossover, but we know that it's purple. Very purple. Benoit Tessier—Reuters/Corbis  Maserati says its Alfieri concept car represents "the future of Maserati design." Too bad most of us can't conceptualize being able to afford a Maserati any time soon. Pierre Albouy—AFP/Getty Images  Mercedes-Benz's G-Code concept SUV comes covered in what the company calls "multi-voltaic silver" paint that's supposed to act like one big solar cell. It's all very green — err, "multi-voltaic silver." Kim Kyung-Hoon—Reuters/Corbis  It somehow doesn't feel like this car, designed by Russian artist Gosha Ostretsov, will fly off the shelves. But that's okay, because it's more art exhibit than commercial vehicle.
