Professional Motorsport Race Track Safety
Open for discussion, dialogue and opinion regarding professional motorsport race track safety....
Specifically, Indianapolis Motor Speedway....the 2.5 mile oval has 4 identical turns banked at 9.2 degrees....today's Indy Car reaches terminal velocity of 230 + MPH....and if a mistake or a mechanical condition occurs, the car slides up the banked turn and is stopped by a....CONCRETE WALL.
In today's ultra-heightened awareness of safety, this is archaic.
Would the FIA allow this condition?
Please post your thoughts and observations.
