FIA GT mayhem in the wet. Both course marshals run for their lives and one ends up head over heels but appears OK.

WOW!!!
Looks like the 405 (Highway) here in SO CAL last week...
They don't know how to drive in the rain over here...
Man are you ever right! I blow by all these idiots all the time, and try to stay clear of em when I can. They drive like they're on ice.
This video is exibit "A" in support of my own view that auto races just shouldn't be held in the rain.
To me, it just makes no sense adding all that unnecessary risk to life & limb. (And, of coarse, the additional risk of damage to the cars.)
'Just MHO.
The video of the In-Car Saleen S7 shows that he could barely see 5 feet infront of him you can't even see the Saleen in the middle of the road.
I rest my case ... again.
'Can't see 5' feet ...and driving at a bazillion MPH... :frown
Well when I saw the crash from spectator view I thought he went sideways in reaction to avoid the Saleen in the middle of the road. Since he didn't even know he was there before he hit him I would guess that his traction completely broke while he was braking for the corner and caused the car to go sideways.
