That's cool and maybe this time they should paint it brite red with lots of flashing lights on the back.

 

....and a large sign that reads "Caution Moving Chicane."

 

Uh.......it was pretty clear to me the P-Car was two wheels off and trying to get back on right where the curbing was ending, all he had to do was let off a tiny bit and let the Wing get the rest of the way ahead, they're not even in the same class fer crikey's sake.....

I mean he hit the Delta in the left rear tire, another nanosecond later and they'd both still be racing. His steering wheel may have been straight, but his car was pointing about 45* to the right.....

However, it does point out how vulnerable this car seems to be due to the weight disparity. The Toyota that hip checked it out of the Le Mans race barely touched it and it couldn't recover.

At one point it looked like the driver was holding the car up with his head!

 

Porsche driver Peter LeSaffre:

“I had no place to go,” he said. “I was tracking out on the curb. My steering wheel was straight, and he whacked me. There is quite a bit of traffic and a lot of turns where you should not pass even if you’re in a P1 car. It comes down to being patient.”

If that is LeSaffre's recollection and attitude, they should do everyone a favor and send him home.

 

Back to the Porsche slamming the DeltaWing, yep I put the blame on the Porsche driver. That DeltaWing looks fast.

 

Starting from the back means exposure to even more clueless drivers, hope they can negotiate the backwaters successfully......

I still like the flag idea, or maybe a strobe light on top like our local school busses?

 

Glad to hear it will be on track again. Moving chicane? rrr:

 

Lap times?

 

Thanks for the updates and videos. This is going to be cool to watch again.
