no

im sorry but im trying to forget what happened in that video.

its just wrenching. and everytime i hear reference to it i think of the video again.

there is an aftermath video to this aswell, which is indescrible. the aftermath video tops it off for me. the fustration at the way the safety service conducted itself angers me to no end.

I didn’t realize they had 360 Modenas in 1998.

edit: Guess it must have been a different Ferrari? Sorry. I looked it up and it did happen in 1998. Guess it musta been a 550.  
edit#2: its an F355 . Just saw the aftermath video… holy f_cking sh_t… that was very painful to watch. Actions of the marshals was just horrible.

Also, Tetsuya Ota won a settlement but not the full amount sought. The courts said, since this happened under yellow, that he was driving too fast for conditions.

he was in teh car that caught fire for like 50 seconds or so.

there was some regulation that crews would be on site to assist any one in an accident in much less time than that, i believe that was the basis for his suit.

Yes, iirc they were supposed to arrive quicker, he won the lawsuit against the event organizers and the t.v. station covering it as well and got $800,000 ish since it ended his career.
