I was at the Ring racing this weekend. Way too many cars on the track and many are driving extremely fast, in extremely fast cars. It is a dangerous track, tons of blind corners and hill tops, and most of the cars there this weekend were, as I mentioned, crazy fast. I put down around 400 whp and I was about the slowest one on the track Saturday morning. It's not like I'm driving slowly either, I usually go around in about 9 mins give or take a few seconds depending on traffic/road surface.
It is, however, the most mind blowing race track I've ever been to, and I will keep coming back as long as it will be possible. The thrill and satisfaction of mastering the more tricky places and the way you feel g-forces up and down the hills are intoxicating.
So my point is, it's good that nobody was seriously hurt, but accidents like that will happen again and again unless they put in a warning ligth system or employ like 200 race officials.....
