MODERATORS
It's kind of irresponsible to be racing at that time of day if drivers end up going down a straight blind like that. They should probably move the start to a bit earlier in the day.
Russell said he couldn't see shit going past the accident and they were lucky they both were on the side of the road and hadn't bounced back into the middle.
But I'm from the UK and it would inconvenience me if the race were any earlier
Fine, we'll just endanger the drivers for your convenience.
How about, as a compromise, we race earlier in the day but shine a spotlight down the straight so the drivers are still blinded?
(And if you haven't worked it out yet, I'm joking)
Yeah, I got that.
I'm actually wondering if a night race could be an option.
