I don't know if Ken Payson would agree. I'm glad to hear that he is on the mend.

You can say that again!

The GP Strecke might be safer, but after the Nordschleife, it's a bit boring ...

Blaine, happy to hear he is on the mend. There IS a waving yellow prior to entry. My main concern is not slowing enough for yellows and waving yellows.

As you point out, the flagger saw the Exige come around and got the yellow out (kudos for the flagger), it's just too bad what happened after that.

For me it is just a reminder of how things can go wrong is just a split second, and how we do need to be careful out there.

That was a serious wreck. I viewed that video on several occasions and it looked like the other car was going in the wrong direction. If so, how can that happen?
