actually, I said the injuries would be severe.

And I did not say this wasn't a severe crash.

I'm simply saying this isn't like on-track crash where the destruction is much worse. Yet short of the driver impacting the tree (or pole) directly like the entirely preventable fatality at LeMans this year, or the car flipping over and killing the driver like Michele Alboreto in the Audi, most drivers survive impacts at much higher speeds than what occurred here. Also, many F1 circuits do indeed have points of impact, Robert Kubica's crash at Montreal comes to mind. And Dario Franchitti's accident on the Indy road course this past year is another. There's always some sort of barrier that can and have indeed been impacted by out-of-control carbon fiber racing cars, yet the drivers (excluding oval catch fencing) nearly always survive. But as I said, if the driver or passenger directlty came into the path of the tree/pole it's another matter.

And I don't think that the possibility of losing control of the car is up for the debate as many far more experienced drivers have proven that this car is inherently dangerous. Personally I think the decision to make this car street legal was a poor one. Allowing anyone to buy a car without any qualification for road car use really puts innocent motorists at risk. Porsche imho should have made this a track only propostion like a Cup car which you can buy from them any day of the week.
