One reason why more and more organizations are no allowing convertibles w/o a full roll cage.

Sure was nice of the 3 cars following her to stop and make sure she was Ok , I assume the guy who did stop and was doing the filming was also driving a cobra

It's aginst most track rules, in racing we are NEVER allowed to get out of the car unless a steward tells us to do so or there is a fire on board, so they would have been wrong to stop and help. Also there was a stewad stand right at the point they spun. Seems odd but those are th rules to prevent someone from getting hit while tring to help

Looks like the filming car was a Porsche GT3 by the wing. Not something I ever want to experience.
