Of course anybody can sue for just about any reason, sometime it is truly ridiculous.

Being sued by another race driver for a collision during a race? Truly ridiculous. UNLESS it could be demonstrated you were GROSSLY negligent. Like running into his car AFTER the race on purpose or something of that nature. Other than that it would be a "raceing incident" and ALL drivers have to assume that risk.

Rich, I'm surprised the insurance paid out for the Porsche at all. His policy must have been missing the typical "fine print" which declares no coverage for "timed events", "races", etc.
