No good at all. Hope all the critically injured make it.

Thats gotta be enough for that bloke to give up on his cars I'd reckon. I think I would.

Plus organisers could have done a better job obviously.

Wonder why the car did that?

Put a wheel on the grass and it made it spin.

Just cause he got money doesn't mean he can drive.

My headline would be 1997 Ford Festiva comes off track and kills 35 people cause I got no money AND can't drive

Happens all too quick doesn't it. No good at all.
Do you think he could have drifted out of that, rather than turning the wheels left, like he did?

That won't help Porsche argue that the Spyder isn't a badly designed, dangerous and unstable vehicle when they get to court against Paul Walkers' daughters' lawyer............. even though the owner in this case obviously has more money and ambition than driving skills.
