I can host it Mr. I!! I'll PM you some ftp details!!
The court case sounds quite bizarre.
"A racing car driver whose career ended with a sickening crash five years ago Wednesday was awarded 90 million yen compensation after the Tokyo District Court ruled race organizers were to blame for his crippling accident."
About £440,000!!
"Tetsuya Ota fell well short of getting the 300 million he had been asking from the five organizers and the marshal of the 1998 race where he suffered severe burns that ruined his driving career, but received the vindication he had been looking for.""Those ordered to pay Ota include Fuji Speedway in Shizuoka Prefecture, where the horrifying crash occurred, and TV Tokyo, which broadcast the race."
Unless things are different over there, I'm surprised that a volunteer marshall is being sued! That said, I did notice from the video that no-one particularly rushed to either car!!!
"None of the defendants have stated whether they will appeal against the ruling, including TV Tokyo, which spent the entirety of the court battle arguing that it could not be regarded as one of the race organizers."
So a TV company is classed as responsible, as were sponsors, because the pace car went too fast?
?
"A pre-race agreement between Ota and the organizers not to pursue legal action in the event of an accident was also dismissed as unacceptable."
We've all said many times that the drivers know the risks involved, and that is why we respect them!!
