Not so much that they avoided him, but that they recognized his dumb ass was on the track and slowed down, regardless of how close they were to him! Again, its an easy case to find Stewart negligent, meaning civilly liable, no criminal charges would stick.
Actually, I think most drivers have more intelligence than they are given credit, no one turns over a 500K race car to a moron…maybe you were thinking of NASCARs fans.
No, those cars are steered as much with the throttle by sliding the rear out as they are turning the steering wheel to turn the front wheels, because of how loose the surface is everytime you hit the gas the rear starts drifting due to lack of traction (even in a straight line)
So you seem to know about this, was Tony trying to avoid him, scare him, hit him? It seems he did anything but slow down...
TBH to me it look like he comes round the corner, tries to move to the left but is forced back by the car on the inside of him, as he moves back his rear end slips out so he blips the throttle to try n straighten it up and as he does that the other dude carries on walking into the wheelbase of his car n bang game over
So, he didnt mean to hit him, but he could've maybe handled it differently. Do you think they'll find him civilly negligent?
No honestly in that situation, short of reaching 88mph n disappearing in a trail of flames there wasnt anywhere he could have gone other than into the bloke walking towards his car, might have been a totally different story if that moron didnt decide to go running round on an active racetrack
If he had been older and wiser and not young n hotheaded would he have got out the car??
