If it could be reasonably expected that the crash could have been avoided, the guy probably has a civil case. If not, like steering suddenly failed prior, some other car created a situation they had to react to, etc., then no. If someone like that has $$$, they most certainly have $$$ for a lawyer. Would it be worth it? Well, it's a multi-million dollar car...

I'm just reacting to the post above that says "I don't see how the porsche driver could be sued". I can see how they could be sued. Doesn't mean they would automatically win, but if they could prove with a preponderance of evidence the above, then they have a case.

Yeah, good luck with winning a civil suit against anyone for an on track incident. Even if they got the most successful lawyer out there, chances of winning are slim to nill. Winning a civil suit for a track event sets up the wrong precedence which would destroy track and sanctioned racing events. No one would push their vehicles for fear of being held monetarily liable for anything that happens.

I don't know if you've ever been to any track events. If you haven't, you will understand why many of us who have are taking this stance. You know the risks. If you don't want to put your car at risk, don't put it on the track.

And I only used my example of insurance companies to emphasize being on track isn't something that is deemed as a normally accepted risk.

But it may be due to the fact a pricey car like that doesn’t go through many crash test ?

to let out smelly air due to code brown. optional feature.

You've heard this one before... "First, shoot all the lawyers". Thought process like this is why lawyers fuck up the world.

More reason to be Pissed TF Off as the Pagani owner!

Of course they can/will/should! This is also commonplace when Track/Course Racing. You, the Driver are still liable and consent to as such. Sucks to be him. What is reeeeeally interesting is how if any can the Porsche claim on Insurance for his 911 or the damage he caused...

Savageenterprise · 10-08-2019, 04:07 PM

Realistically the guy with the Huayura is at fault..... If you got money like that you can surely afford to close the track for the day and be the only one out there

Jbravo33 · 10-08-2019, 06:19 PM

Money can't buy skill that's for sure.

It's more of a gentleman's agreement.

If I would were to smash my race car against another car I don't have to pay a cent. However that would be in poor taste and the NASA heads probably wouldn't be too willing to have me back.

But that's the risk, it's not a cheap hobby. Best to accept that early.

The Pagani was actually a mule and that was a test driver. The door popping open is allegedly an intended safety feature in a crash.

Source: someone who knew the Pagani driver. There's a thread over on Rennlist.

Guess if you're going to do it, do it big, right?

I immediately thought of Forza as well. It's even funnier since the 911 GT2 RS was launched using Forza 7.
