Think he just drove a stake straight through the heart of 100’s of bubble wrappers, break-in babies, and value nannies around the world with that one lap. Oh, and his tire pressure warning light was on. Heck, car is worthless now. He should just park it on the side of the road, leave the keys, and walk away....

Meanwhile at Mosport the wanton destruction continues....

The German system shown seems to me to make a lot more sense since it is far more intuitive indicating the direction in which the
car being passed will go - as the driver is used to doing in normal road driving.
Well Touristenfahrten is handled like a public one-way road, so obviously you're not supposed to indicate the opposite side of where you turn in/stay.

Exactly - makes much more sense across the pond (windows up too, if you like)

Are you running standard setup or has Manthey helped you a bit?

Anybody here with a 2RS in Denmark? Just saw one in Chalk and couldn't believe. Well North of Copenhagen in the relative middle of nowhere and boom. Took me a second to register. Looks really mean in person...

And that often causes some really tricky situations if you have Americans with you on a trackday in Europe: He indicates to the right, you´re happy that he saw you, prepare to pass on the left and all of a sudden there´s a car right in front of you.
It does make a lot more sense to drive to the direction you´re indicating to. Just like you do on a public road.
Organisers learned from that: They´re telling any foreign participants how to behave now. And sometimes that doesen´t even help.

You guys have some seriously stupid rules over there... (Like windows down or point by´s etc.)

^^ Yes, but some Ricky Racers invented that this was a good idea in the '70's so it must never be changed or discussed.
