so will the mustang's insurance cover the repair bill for the other cars involved since it was at a track??? Assuming of course it was the fault of the mustang. Wondering if his insurance doesn't cover him because he was on a track - would his insurance cover any damage inflicted by him, i.e. other cars???
If not, then tracks should make it a policy to have any drivers prove insurance coverage...

Of course, nobody would stop a gentleman from voluntarily accepting blame and paying for damage that he causes. Somehow, I don't think the mustang owner will be rushing to pay the damage for the CGT, let alone the GT3 RS wannabe (which has had some seriously expensive modifications).

As far as I am concerned – Kudos to the guy running the CGT on the track.
Far too many fantastic cars get bought, put in a garage and never turn a wheel – which is a crying shame. These things were built to be the ultimate driving machines, not the ultimate bauble.

OK, enough with the runors and conjecture!! I was there and all 3 cars while damaged at the same portion of the track had their incidents independently of one another. the Mustang was the last to get damaged.
The yellow GT3 is NOT Lee's and the owner occasionally comes around rennlist.
The Carrera GT wasn't being driven fast or aggressively but the driver did make a rookie mistake and ended up in the wall.
All of the incidents happened at turn 10. It's a fast left hander after you exit the uphill essess. Unfortunately if you're going fast enough and you lift or pinch the exit the car will spin to the outside of the track and the relatively close tire wall.
Again, the mustang was not at fault and was being driven quite well at the event up to that point!!
eesh, the internet and the rumors. :-\

I have seen more cars go off (and get damaged) at turn 10. Plenty go off at Turn 1 but there is plenty of run off space.
Thanks KJ
EDIT: Thanks Jim, your link to the Vette board answered both of my questions. Jeeeezzzz. Too bad, the guy with the GT3 seemed to be a pretty nice guy.

Oh! the humanity!...Man! my heart sank when I saw that C-GT...My god, what a way to debut the car...feel so bad for that owner, but thumbs up for the guy for not shying away from the track, always better than a garage queen..sheesh.
edit: O.K I didn't read the second page...so, the C-GT guy also screwed up....well **** happens.

That's not my Yellow car, guys-- looks a lot like it, tho, right down to the wheels and carbon doo-dads. My rollcage is fairly extensive, vs. this guy's--now we know why.
Hope he gets it back on the road soon.
