/Drive was cool.

Now they want money.

Not cool anymore.

So I need to slow down and be crammed in a smaller lane because some people might run over pedestrians sometimes? Really? Does no one else think this is the most asinine thing you've ever heard? People will just go too fast in narrower lanes where pedestrians are 1 foot closer to the center of the lane than they were

I thought he was only accused of blood doping? Not really the same as roads or drugs...

On a roll? That's one way to put it...

Driver is on record saying that the seatbelt mounts broke. Said he didnt install them properly.

Because they give a longer distance for the car to decelerate, thus decreasing the severity of the impact.

They're using the cars the way they were intended to be used so that people can actually see them in action. All of these guys understand that there's a possibility of writing off the car when they do this. They own the car, who are you to say they can't?

You also act as if it's just a rich boy playground. They cant

Is this really considered a "Beautiful" car these days? It looks like a 3rd gen mitsubishi eclipse got violated by one of those giant awful NASCAR racers and this thing popped out. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but most new cars these days are just hideous. They're not even well proportioned.

Yes and a professional racing driver driving at non competition (under caution, remember?) speeds should not have a problem controlling the car. If they do they should not be in a racing car.

This happens all the time and never results in deaths. it usually results in a bunch of cheers and jeers from the crowd as they get riled up over who is in the right or wrong in response to the cause of the incident. Remember, the camera is massively zoomed in and you think you're seeing cars whiz by at racing speed.

You have a bizarre definition of "in control". All racing at the limit has some amount of sliding in it. Just because you can see it in rally or drift doesnt mean it's out of control. That's why they stay on the road. Do they have accidents... sure... so do people who race and drive on asphalt. "In Control" doesn't

Anyone controlling a potentially fatal device has to handle that responsibility. Whether it's a sprint car at a track, a rifle at a shooting range, or a forklift at a warehouse. It's your responsibility to mitigate any and all possible accidents as much as possible. If some idiot is running on the shooting range you

That's ridiculous. Race drivers are looking out for things in the track like... maybe... OTHER CARS, which can be ANYWHERE on the track, inside or outside.

If you're at a shooting range and some moron starts running across it, you dont pull the fucking trigger.

Exactly... If you're driving around in a parking lot and some little kid thinks your Camaro is a decepticon and starts running towards your path of movement charging at you, you slow down get away, stop the car. Whatever it takes to prevent an incident from happening. You dont just stand your ground and then say

Because poor Tony had NO idea how the car was going to react when he romped on the throttle. Just a helpless vicitm in way over his head. OH wait... he's a professional race car driver. Nevermind.

No you "get away from this guy" by using the other half of the track instead of driving right up to him and then romping on it.

Tony has done it himself plenty of times. Formula 1 racers do it. All kinds of drivers will go out and make angry gestures. This kid isnt doing anything new.

Dude that's like saying guys that drift are out of control because they're sliding. It's like saying rally racers have no control over where their cars go. Don't be a moron.

During dirtRACING, yes. THEY WERE UNDER CAUTION DUDE. They are CRUISING. Just idling around the track as slow as they can bear without boring themselves to death. THey are NOWHERE NEAR the limits of manueverability of these things when just putting around the track under caution. That's the most asinine excuse I've
