6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I'd go 60/40 it's radicals fault. Ideally you'd say golf but imagine how quick that radical popped up, easy to say you'd have seen it when in real life you wouldn't although I know there are a lot of super human track day legends on here that clearly would have seen it whilst also concentrating on going around the track.
Having things so different in terms of speed etc on same trackday is a big factor in this.

Fucking hell, by the sounds of this thread i'm amazed people managed to complete a single lap on a track day. Seeing the majority of track time should be spent looking everywhere except where you're actually going

Who said anything about not looking where you're going?
I can't think of one corner iv committed a line to without knowing precisely what's around me.

And we have people like ak and lee who I'd say probably have more track time than any of you put together also agreeing

Everyones talking about looking in mirrors etc. My first priority on approaching a corner would be to make sure i've got my line/speed right. That radical closes on the golf very quickly and a car of that size can quite easily get lost in your blind spot.
Sure you can probably pick apart the golf drivers lines etc but the radical driver made the decision to rely on the fact the golf had seen him. Thats quite a gamble, especially on a track day (let alone if it was a race).
