I've always thought that cars like The Murcielago should require a special license to own and drive, because they are to much car for the average person.
The average car is too much car for the average person.
A handful of you know where I come from and what I do when I say this: 250kph relatively speaking, is well within the limits of many properly maintained and piloted cars. It takes immense concentration to drive that fast on a track, let alone on open stretches of public road, let alone with a distraction to your right side...
The hundreds of pieces of engineered parts all come down to four patches of contact. You would be amazed and dumbfounded at the huge majority of cars that I've seen and tested (pressure) that have damaged tires or wheels, improperly mounted tires or wheels and/or incorrect pressure. It'd put a number in the 90%s.
Add to that that many of the drivers of the cars are attention obsessed and tend towards flamboyance..... add to that the total irresponsibility of driving at those speeds with a passenger....
I'm not blaming a bit. It's just that my experience has me believe that most people have no clue that responsiblity involved in driving agressively, even on a closed cicuit (with the fire brigade nearby!).
Just because you can afford it, (and even then many I've met cannot actually afford it), doesn't mean that you know what you are doing.
Everything, in the end, can come down to mathematics. The mathematics tell me that the faster I go, the greater an eventual impact will be - the harder I push my car, the greater the strain on virtually all of the car's part, hence the great heat generated, hence the greater strain....
It's BS that two people had to die that way - but
someone failed somewhere, be it an engineer, a mechanic, track personell, the driver. It's the math the the odds of an irrecoverable problem increase with speed.
...and, I don't think that pictures are something that a regular member would get away with....
