Or someone else making a mistake like in F2 recently where a crash lead to a death and severe injuries. Car that slammed (survived) into car that stopped (dead) at 300kph had zero seconds to react. Full speed over a blind crest into a stopped car.
But if you don’t go full speed over a blind crest, you won’t be in even the top 10.
Takes a special kind of person.

- Swizec 7y agoAt 300kph you cover 83m per second. Almost a full football pitch. In this instance the cars were less than a second apart. A HUD won’t help, human reaction times just aren’t fast enough. Doubt even automatic braking would stop in time.
