Yes, I agree Michael, the carnage is too much. In my opinion, its the emphasis on competition and the importance of winning that is the biggest contributor. BTCC driver Gordon Shedden bumped the leading Cobra off the track to win the RAC TT. The Cobra came just inches away from being destroyed against the wall as it spun. Shedden appeared not bothered at all by the incident. Essentially, this is how they race in the BTCC.
