WTF- Shakey jumps on the gravy train....

[Horse]

Do view Shakey in a slightly different light now - reading this and don't quite get why the case actually focused so much on the actual design of the corner and love the bit when the Judge states ''just because an accident hasn't happened ( at said corner ) it's acceptable that you do the minimum requirements''

There's a lot of fall out heading the circuits way...

I'm not a 'track,' person, but I recall a briefing at Thruxton which was, roughly, "there are only two places you need to brake hard. And they're the only places where barriers are close to the track."

And that seems to be the centre of the winning argument.

Track redesign
They're warned about insufficient run-off distances
Lackluster risk assessment
Poor record keeping
And, potentially, reliance on a disclaimer


However ... Can't help but wonder whether the claim was speculative, or whether he'd had some sort of inside information about all that?

One lad sued Focused Events after he crashed running onto the grass.
His case revolved about him not being told the grass was slippy.

After that, every briefing was filmed to stop folk making shit claims.

I remember that, kind of. Or similar. I was told it was one of Jim Whittam's trackdays.

Deffo F.E. I was instructing at that time.

My (strong ) recommendation would be to watch it yourself and develop your own opinion

That was an interesting watch,as a race fan I'm a bit wary about the repercussions.I hope things don't go the same way with the insurers as they have in Ireland

I read the full judgement document, which was fascinating.

But that video provides a superb extra level of detail and background.

Go on to YouTube, download the transcript (Yt automatically creates it). You'll then get all the important stuff. There is little to no 'filler'.
