Ouch ... poorly designed autocross course anyone?

4 or 5 cars wrecked at an autocross:

*sigh*

Oooooh shit, is that GT3? I'd ask for a refund. :icon16:

i'm new to this website. I'm trying to post a thread with an issue that my car is having. Can anyone tell me how to post a new topic

Go to the top left of the page and double-click new thread. Then fill out a title and a summary of your problem.

According to the guy who posted the driver of the car that smashed into all those other cars went to stomp on the brake and got the clutch instead. I guess its not the autocross course thats to blame but rather a really bad driver! how do you mistake the brake for the clutch? unless your like 80 years old then it happens all the time but shit!

Even still, if you step on the wrong peddle... you should still have ample room to recover from your mistake with enough run off.

The story says there's a 200ft straight away to the finish. The finish should be pointing off into nowhere, where cars can safely slow down/coast to a stop and cruise to get their lap time.

Not have to do evasive manuevers from Warp Factor 9 down to Impulse power to not hit little Jimmy who just dropped his wowwy-pop. BAM, Jimmy's dead and you've got 8-year old all over the front of a GT3. Who's to blame?

That's right Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy. Fuckers raised a stupid kid who found it more interesting to pick up a half eaten lolly pop than to watch a badass car like a GT3.

Darwinism my friends, it always seeks out the weak.

:2cents:

That shit'll buff right out. Just give me som bondo and an electric sander, I'll take care of it for ya...

Yeah, the issue is not the driver error, but rather (1) having other cars parked anywhere near a hot zone and (2) having that much acceleration room prior to the finish. You want cars slowing down, not accelerating, when the run is over.

When I read the title I was expecting to see the video of Eddie Griffin crashing the Enzo for some reason... :dunno:
But man, that doesn't look good... Four cars, and a Porsche one of them... :nutkick:

I dunno man, it said the guy driving the Porsche that crashed was setting damned good times in a 'Vette, I think it probbably just had his foot a bit to far over, or something like that. I don't think he totally missed the brake, just caught a bit of both.

I'm with Stigy here. It was a bad place to put a 200ft long straight for speed. It would be like parking your car in the center of the Karusell on the 'Ring.

Four cars, and a Porsche one of them

Not just any Porsche, but a GT3. I mean, if it had been a Boxster or Cayanne, yeah maybe, but shit...a GT3. Man.
