    Default WTCC - Safety car causes crash

    Safety car driver should know better than to come out and block the racing line like that.

    I dunno... the corner workers were clearly signalling yellow before and after that turn. Yellow means, "watch out, there is probably gonna be some ish in the road ahead of you." Guess what, there was

    I think this may have been at least 33% the racer's fault. While under yellow, it was his job to slow down and drive in a manner that woudl allow him to avoid obstacles that might appear. I think the BMW tried to get past the safety car to make another lap and the safety car said, "no sir." Im not making excuses for the safety car though, he just darted out there into the race line.

    Lots of contributing factors here. For one, Pit lane exit was bad, for another, the safety car didnt stay in the pit exit lane, and then the BMW was hauling ass under a full course yellow.

    they should have chosen a real safety car and not that pos...

    A car that can get up to speed fast enough when oncoming traffic is approaching after being given the green on the radio to proceed out into the racing line...
