This is almost comical. Anybody who is in the slightest serious about driving should have a goal of 6 spotless minutes of racing every time they hit the track. I don't know anyone who feels they can crash out and have any chance at winning. Anyone who is counting on corner marshalls in their racing is seriously ill.
