Isn't one of the first rules of track driving to always look way far ahead of you, and leave the nearby stuff to your peripheral vision? Watching the replay a couple times I can see a fair amount of smoke/dust in front of the yellow car well in advance - that should tip the driver off to avoid it.

I know, I know, it's much easier to see in a replay, on a monitor, sitting in a chair relaxed. Still...
I do not know anything about this wreck or the skill level of the driver. That said, I have been at plenty of DE's where it is obvious many are not looking much further than 50 feet off the front of their hood.

I cam around a turn to find a Supra facing the wrong way. I let off and moved over only to find a Corvette barreling down on me looing at my rear bumper. I had to get back in it to aviod being rear ended.
