As to the M2 not using blinkers, I may be the minority in this viewpoint. But the Porsche driver was in my eyes 100% at fault for the crash. Blinker use or not. But my track experience involves motorcycles and the track events I do if I were to make a similar attempt to pass as this Porsche driver did, I would be 100% at fault.

One guy wasnt paying attention. Wasnt following all the rules of the ring and took a right hand driver car to a left hand drive country. its always introducing more risks. He sat on the opposite side of where 911 guy sits, and didnt really double make sure to leave space. Porsche of course didnt need to go for it, this rule of no timed laps is there for a reason. Fast car, probably good driver to be driving it, but - right hand drive being passed on the left at high speed and in corner with guy not paying attention or not expecting to be passed - you got a bad combination of errors.
Im pretty sure the police in Germany will find the BMW driver ultimately at fault but with some mitigating circumstances. I certainly wouldnt blame Porsche driver never mind being 100% sure of it.
Whats most important they walk away and can now bicker about who pays for what, rather than you know, learn how to walk again or family writing obituaries. Just brused egos and engineers can be proud of making good cars. thank god all are alive and ok.
