Problem is, like the Lotus, people are gung-ho with adrenaline in the early sessions or fatigued in the later and they don't compensate accordingly. Or the classic, they get passed by someone/car the think isn't worthy of the position and drive over their head to get the position back.

One thing I like about motorcycle events is most riders don't like rag-dolling across the track and infield or getting hit by a cartwheeling bike. Good judgement can get blurred when you have a the security of cage and sheet metal around you.
