This is my fear anytime I take my car to the track. However, you can purchase insurance for these types of events. I called my insurance company and they referred me to a company that specializes in race events. For a weekend at the track it was going to be about 700 dollars to insure my vehicle....
RX7 Crashes into GTR at the Strip TX2k15
- Thread starter Butterybunz
- Start date
How about a little stiuational awareness? Rx7 lost it and the gtr had plenty of time to shut er down, but he kept at it next to an unstable car.
their is insurance fraud in almost every claim I handle a lot of that and I do research on claims to prove the owners have committed fraud...but insurance companies will always pay for stupid...believe I know first hand...some get away with it others do not it all depends..
Agree, seems like he could have gotten out of it and jumped on the brakes
This is a local guy unfortunately and word floating around is, totaled. Guessing GTR parts aren't cheap and add up fast.
I had on track racing insurance for my car last year and will again this season. It really wasn't that bad. $900 for a years coverage valued at 50K with a 5k deductible good down to 7.90's for ET. Well worth it in my eyes. Try to suggest it wherever I can so people don't end up in this situation. I couldn't afford to rebuild back to where I am today for many years if I wrecked hard, insurance would help me get started again.

Who did you get the insurance through? I figured it would be double that.
Pretty sure the guy owned it outright
It was through hartland insurance group last season. I'll probably be going through Lutz over on the bullet this season.
There were only 999 GTRs left at TX2k15.
Thanks, Bud.
Are you guys color blind? I see the ass on the RX7 going out at .15 seconds and brake lights are on the GTR during .16.
Watch the video again, rx7 loses its ass before thAt. Gtr hits its brakes once the rx7 just goes completely sideways.
I see the subtle movements prior but even at .14 it looks like it is tracking pretty straight. I could not fault a driver with a helmet on for not spotting movement partially blocked by his a pillar in the midst of a focus required 9/10 second pass.

The wall did its job. He will be happy he walked away to be able to do it again another day.
