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."Alan PBTD wrote: ↑Sat Dec 07, 2024 8:52 pm
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...
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?
