Riding or driving sports cars in a group creates a dynamic that invites crashes. I’ve seen it enough to know it’s a bad idea. If the riders were not skilled enough to avoid the hypnosis of following the rider in front of them, loss of control is likely.
I’m a pretty good rider, (particularly on the street/traffic), but I’m getting older and have zero track experience on a bike. The few friends that ever ride with in canyons have hundreds of track hours on 200 mph crotch rockets and if I try to keep up, I’m going off the side of the mountain. Not so much because I can’t turn the motorcycle but because I’ll get hypnotized. When I ride w them, I consciously put some distance between us.
