What kind of morons have they let loose to design courses. This is a ludicrous speed for safety. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Ok, the designer screwed up. But isn't it really up to the driver? Don't they "walk" the course first so they know it? Why shouldn't the driver be the one to adapt to the course? Blame the course? Really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Just asking. |

QUOTE(Rand @ Jun 7 2014, 03:47 PM)  Ok, the designer screwed up. But isn't it really up to the driver? Don't they "walk" the course first so they know it? Why shouldn't the driver be the one to adapt to the course? Blame the course? Really? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Just asking. IMHO course design was flawed. You don't run a high (high) speed slalom on a narrow road with no run off. And cones that you have to go around mean what, that the road becomes narrower still and even more suspect. Any mistake or spin and you are going off. That is why course designers usually walk the course with the "safety management" so that a second set of eyes can look for safety. Doubt this was done with this course and if so someone should be getting a serious lecture about safety and how to properly set up a course. Think about the liability if that barbed wire had seriously damaged the person driving. And he should have been wearing polarized sun glasses. All that shade will definitely screw with your ability to figure out where you are going. |
