Who Is At Fault?


Recommended Posts

Bugger. Never nice to see an accident at a track day. Main thing is nobody was hurt. If I was the guy in the silver EVO that got clouted in the door I would be very annoyed as I dont think that car had any place diving up the inside.

As that was a normal track day he shouldn't be diving like that. To me, the evo was already committed into the turn. It's the faster guys responsibility to get pass safely.

As Roy said, never nice to see that happen.

It looks like a much faster car/driver, was it in the wrong class?

I wonder if he would have made it through the corner anyway...

No such thing as different classes at track days (unless you pay for there to be or you hire the track and set it up).

But that looks like it was a speed off the street day to me.

Was a stupid move, as stated would have been lucky to make the corner anyway let alone trying that with a heap of traffic around!

Would have been pissed if I was the evo driver.

Accidents happen at the best of times let alone trying something stupid like that

Every track day I've been to segregates drivers based on speed/skill.

I haven't seen that yet, I have been at the track testing at speed off the street days with "professional" drivers in real race cars on two different occasions both times they put in with the people that drove their cars to the track, one of the drivers was like WTF? management said if you want your own time then pay for it.

When I went down to winton to crew for a f3 in the vic state round they put formula vee, formula fords and formula three's all together on the track at the same time for all the practices…

All my track days have been segregated, sometimes poorly. Road cars and track cars are a bad mix imo.

They wanted to put an MX5 in with the open wheelers because it had a soft top, luckily the hard top was available. :/

Take your word for it Track goers ^

So the evo in front has full reign to do as they please (i.e own the track). His line appeared to change to rapidly on an acute angle.

It appeared to me at first glance the silver Evo has made a drastic turn in (lunge) to make the corner or block

(from the vid it looks as if had he carried on that line he would end up on the grass inside the track).

The vehicle behind was too close to the inside and would overshoot on the way out of the corner.

One under and one over - hence causing the intersect

Defiantly the camera car at fault

Like how the comments are disabled on YouTube. And also another video complain about poor sportsman ship. Just because you have a faster car does not mean you have right of track.

Who is at fault? The muppet who was driving the camera car.

Running clean into the side of a car that was on the racing line... lol. Wow.

Camera car came in waaaaaay too hot for a start... Nowhere to go but into the side of the poor bloke in the Silver EVO. Had that EVO not been there, would've likely speared off into the grass anyway approaching that corner in such a manner.

Neither was at fault, it happened on a race track, each driver is responsible for their own damage.

Like Pete said, it does deserve a punch up in the pits though. And whoever was running the day did not brief and monitor their drivers properly.
