It's fun until you run into an ice bank or another car.

Keep in mind the cars are only moving 20-25 in the corners and maybe 40-50 down the straights... Even if you have contact it's going to be minimal damage. After I got my own driving under control, I felt alot safer on the course than I do driving around Jersey City or NYC...

People tend to latch on way too much on this illusion of "safety". There is no such thing.

Ever hit a snow bank at 20mph?

It's a solid concrete wall.

Ice, yes. Packed snow, maybe. This was unpacked powder. If you read the thread you will see that yes, I went into the snowbank. Got pulled out and went on my merry way after cleaning out my rad and oil cooler grills.

Haha, nope. I'm one of those people that wouldn't trust people as far as I could throw their cars when driving on a huge sheet of ice and snow. At least not with my rx8...
