Do you live up a very steep hill, or anticipate driving on anything other than pavement, concrete, or packed gravel?

You missed the first line:

I found this local article with a description of the crash from a witness:

If the car doesn’t catch on fire and/or the kids are able to get out, this is a case of a rich kid hoons dad’s car and wrecks it, injuring his friends/passengers in the process. Big scandal, maybe a lawsuit because rich people, and relationships are forever altered, but everyone eventually gets on with their lives.

Whoa that’s close to home...the two kids who died went to the same school I did until 10th grade. The kid who was ejected went to the school I graduated from. Not sure how I feel about that...

This, unfortunately.

The S65 AMG is RWD only. God bless traction control. Oh, and the ability to control how far you press the accelerator. You...do have that ability, you know.

That blasted age stigma, it is a sticky one.

Unfortunately, yeah...

True, the only time afternoon rain isn’t a strong possibility is the dead of winter, i.e. F1's off season.

I dunno, from the top of a cruise ship you might be high enough to have a decent view of both the hairpins, for maximum carnage visibility. Of course, the two corners are more than half a mile apart so...binoculars?

Bahhhh you had me right up until that last part.

Yeah, current wall is poured-poured-in-place continuous barrier, they’d have to pull that and insert a section of jersey barriers.

EDIT:

It’s just the perspective. That U-turn is on an expressway that’s 3 lanes each way plus breakdown lanes either side.

Funny you should mention that: the island at the tip of the double straightaway is the main cruise terminal in Miami. That said, the waters are too tight to bring a ship that far up to be by the track. More realistic is renting one of the 50 gazillion high-rise condos looming over downtown Miami.

The problem with trying to lay out a street circuit in SoFla is the flatness. Because there’s ZERO elevation change anywhere, all the streets are laid out pretty much in a grid, so you’re stuck with straights and slow-speed turns. If they could incorporate some of the interchanges between major expressways in the…

Not super narrow, they’re all at least 3 lanes wide. I’m more concerned about the mickey mouse layout. Short straight, tight turn, short straight, tight turn, repeat ad nauseum. Fuuuuuug dat.

Exactly! keep both hands available to jump in if needed, but most of the time you’re just steering with small movements and pressure, fingertip level stuff. Seems like a lot of folks who lack confidence behind the wheel default to wrapping 10 fingers tightly around the rim, and it only makes things harder for them.

Shuffle steering is one of many things that may be well-meaning and rooted in safety, but really only makes it harder to be smooth and fluid behind the wheel. I also happen to have a personal vendetta about this one because it was one of the techniques I tried to learn for competitive driving and ended up deciding was…
