this was posted before in the thread for Ben

IMO it's a pointless exercise :bah:

its a sad story.. but i'm sorry.. stupid lawsuit.. :? the car is safe.. they knew it not an SLR.. and they're not some rich 18 years old kids who took dads car for a spin.. you take the risk, you face the consequence.. :bah: i feel for the widow.. but deep down i think she knows the truth.. it not porsche fault or the tracks.. (unless it a monaco like track, in which case i think those kind of track shouldn't let novice drives "have a go" )
sad.. really sad.. but no once fault.. or in a short "saying".. shit happens..

Dumb rich bitch with a greedy lawyer. :fist:

Without instruction:.....how about brake when u are driving faster than u can handle. I am sure the engineers @ porsche is laughing their ass off.

he wasn't driving outside his skill at all. He was cut off by a slow Ferrari coming out of the pits. The Ferrari was waved onto the track by an undertrained track marshal.

you said that in a little too tough way, but it's damn true :bah: :?

well is it ferrari driver's fault then? then there you go, you know who's guilty...

Man, I hate shit like this. It's always someone else's fault, not the person who was injured or died. I'm sure they signed waivers against any liability at the track and all that but they're bound to get some sort of settlement.

I don't think the lawyers are to blame, I think it's the juries that actually reward such behavior!!

I think it's a mix of the track marshal and Ferrari. It's pretty much like merging onto the freeway. Cars at speed have the right of way. If you don't see an opening, don't try to slot in. Let traffic pass, then go.

Sorry Sentra dude, but you pulled a Stan on this one. . . you actually pulled a Stan on Stan.

I say this warrants it's own topic.

I'm going to start suing people and then I too can own a Porsche CGT. That or embezzle like a mo'fo like that erricson guy(enzo-malibu crash). or maybe I should rip video content and post on the internet and charge people to download. J/K :wink:

R acingF lix has a 5 year headstart on you :P

With regard to this type of lawsuite, the outcome might be that no-one is willing to host/hold track days and we could see the demise of the open class supercar.

Sad situation.

^ ouch

That's exactly who I was referencing :lol:
