Time Trial Driver Killed at Summit Point

Honestly, he'd probably have lived if he'd been in a 3-point. The car was well equipped for a TT car - harness+seats+rollbar. He broke his neck because he was strapped down too well. About the only thing that would have prevented that is a right side net.

maybe...i wasn't really commenting on this particular case...just TT procedures in general. scary that these folks are in a competition environment and mindset, but don't have to meet proper competition safety standards.

gotta love bmwcca cr safety rqmts...cage, proper seat, harnesses, hans, left and right side nets, helmet, suit, etc.....

If it was an alleged brake rotor failure the same sort of incident or a any mechanical failure will happen someday at a NCC drivers school with similar results. We have been lucky.
