1. This is a 2-lane road during TF.

3. The BMW ultimately hit the Porsche, but the Porsche caused the incident to happen with over-aggressive driving into a disappearing wedge.
This accident was 100% caused by the Porsche driver, and to place the blame on the BMW driver for not checking his mirrors is just ignorance.
You guys keep forgetting that the BMW driver was setting up for corners at speed, and never saw the Porsche at all. The Porsche driver SAW this at the previous corner and proceeded to drive into a disappearing gap anyway.
The person with the knowledge has the responsibility.

^So much this.
I was going to put up a reply since many quoted one of my replies about this being the BMW driver's fault because the BMW driver moved to the right. They're ignoring the fact that this is what is done to set up a proper line into any corner. Everything you said is 100% correct.
Since the staff at the Ring has been adjusting rules due to changes in dynamics with what's happening on track recently, they should in my opinion, re-evaluate their rules during a TF. If they want to run it as a public road, fine. But make it 100% a public road. I don't know of any public road where there are passing zones in a corner. There should be zero passing in corners and only on the straights. And in one of the videos posted here, that two "lane" road directive was violated even further when I saw cars in a corner three wide. Yes, yes. The videos are compilations of the worst incidents on the high risk corners. But it only takes that one time to be a highlight in one of these videos.
This thread has been educational for me as I had no idea about how a TF day is run. Knowing now, I'd think it's absolutely insane to take any risks on track and personally I wouldn't even go on "track" on a TF day; especially with a high dollar sports car.
