JackFrost Posted 13 June, 2015 Share Posted 13 June, 2015 I'm surprised it's still going considering how many fatal crashes they have. Like you say, maximum respect to all the riders. Bob Price's fatal crash last year is on youtube when he crashed headlong into a pub wall at Ballaugh Bridge. Not pretty. Trying to make a 38 mile course remotely safe is always going to be difficult and cost an astronomical sum of money, but the measures in place do seem half-arsed regardless. It is an incredible event though and a relic that will remain, even with the serious accidents. F1 is just about there safety wise (post-Bianchi) but what's killed the sport are making the cars too easy to drive and the relenting crusade to turn every track into the Hungaroring. If they raced on circuits that flowed and were actually challenging it would make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
