A couple comments from witnesses, from
http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61677 :
"IT WAS NOT BEN'S FAULT!!! THE ORGANIZER HAD PICKED THE 150MPH ZONE AS
THE ENTRANCE TO THE TRACK AND THE F-CAR DRIVER PULLED IN FRONT OF HIM
NEAR THE END OF THE STRAGHT. THERE WERE NO CORNER WORKS AND NO
FLAGS!!! HE TRIED TO AVOID HIM AND SPUN OUT AND HIT THE WALL AT NEARLY
THAT SPEED."
"The entrance to the track was at the absolute worst place in the
straight and an F-car was waived on in error as they came down the
straight. It was just unthinkable something like this could happen.
The driver waived on is by all accounts an excellent driver and was
only doing what was instructed. I doubt he ever saw the car in such a
blind spot coming on."
(Apologies for the all-caps, I quoted them verbatim.)
