I think here in the U.S. Those are the stock tires that will come with the car and you you could opt for other types. ??

Geez, how does that happen at an AutoX? All of the courses I have seen (NNJ region) are set up so no cars come near eachother.
Shame. Which is why I don't race my cars. You never know!

A great place to start learning is with an automatic street car.
That said, LFB is not as effective with street 996s due to e-gas. Specifically, unlike in my race car, you cannot use the brakes and the gas at the same time: the 996 will cut throttle. Moreover, the pedal placement on the stock 996 is not ideal for LFB in my opinion. That could be the reason why the guy in the corvette had the problem: he was in a car that was unfamiliar to him, and he was driving too close to the limit.

The organization's insurance does not cover the cars participating. It's for property damage of the venue (in general). You sign a waiver to damages when you run so, no, the SCCA's insurance will not cover your car or anyone else's.

Since the insurance company won't cover the GT3, will it cover the other cars damaged or will the owner of the GT3 have to answer to those people also?
Friends don't let friends drive THEIR OWN GT3!
