Oooooh! What a mess! I tend to agree that whoever designed the course has to share in the liability... That will certainly make me more aware of where I park at my next AutoX!

Who's liable? That's a lot of money in damage if you add up all four cars...

I am wondering how you "miss the brakes and hit the clutch"? I guess they did not go over pedal placement in the driver's meeting.

I guess he never got used to how closely the pedals in Porsches are placed.

I wondered the same thing - maybe he was left-foot braking? Although why you'd do that at the end of the run is beyond me.

It looked like the cars were parked way to close to the course, and of course a driver that totally screwed the pooch. At least, AFAIK, nobody was injured.

That's beyond stupid. I would not want to Auto-X in the region after seeing that!

Poor course setup and a miracle nobody was standing around those cars!
