Porsche, track owners sued over Carrera GT crash
|
Last summer, Benjamin Miles Keaton and Corey Nicholas Rudl died on a race track in San Diego County when Keaton, the driver, lost control of his Porsche Carrera GT and crashed into a wall. Now Rudl’s widow is suing the Keaton’s estate, the race track, the track day organizers, and Porsche (for selling an “unsafe” car). Both men were in their 30s, were very wealthy, and both knew what they were getting into. Both were wearing helmets and seatbelts. The lawsuit against Porsche alleges that the Carrera GT is “too difficult a car to handle at high speeds for the average driver without instruction.” The Leftlane Perspective: People make choices. This tragedy is not the fault of Porsche or those who planned the track day. Keaton and Rudl made a choice, and their families need to accept that. There’s not always someone to blame.
