Legally I don't believe there is any recourse for the 997 Turbo driver. If anyone is thinking of it then take out insurance!

I think what needs to be remembered is that this isn't a race - it's a track day. Courtesy and safety are surely key here and there are rules for overtaking etc. If you want to take risks and potentially cause a serious accident then I would argue that a track day isn't the place for it.

I agree that on the face of it the organisers should have played a bigger part, although I’m sure they were attempting to rein the guy in without spoiling his day - in hindsight they should have removed his ar$e from the track. Unfortunately some people just won’t be told and the result is in Technicolor for all to see – one beaten up Porsche and one shagged Aston Martin!

I also agree that they should have had (and from the post they may not have), suitable insurance. But all the cover in the world wouldn’t mitigate the recklessness of the Aston driver and the fact that someone wasn’t seriously injured was down to a little luck and nothing else.



Edit...SPEED LIMITS & NO OVERTAKING!! You don’t need to hold a racing license to attend a track day, anybody can attend. There do need to be rules to hopefully ensure the event is fundamentally safe for the individuals (of varied skill levels) participating. What you’re prescribing sounds more like Death Race 3000!
