Combined with street legal cars that became faster and faster every year it's obvious accidents are going to happen.

I try to go there a few times every year, but for me it became less and less enjoyable and more and more risky to drive a few laps myself. Only in those few quiet moments early in the morning or on weekday evenings I dare to go. Last time being already one year ago.
If every driver in every country obeyed all traffic rules, there would be no car accidents, ever. We all know how that goes. Some people think the solution is automation. LOL.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
