This is an article regarding the Carrera GT crash that killed the two guys in the car.
Big award......releases are suspect. Track had some fault due to barrier placement, driver had fault, everyone had some fault as in most things in life.

Be carefull out there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Porsche didnt even get their hand slapped financially. They'd pay that much just to make it go away.

True, that was pocket change for Porsche, but it establishes precedence (and a lucrative career future for the lawyer who won the case), and THAT is the biggie...
