Here is my take - been doing this for years - #1 Richard the 48 hours of Sebring crashfest is a race - there are very few crashes in the advanced solo portion of that event. And in the years prior to this year - it's been the cup car group that's been playing bumper cars.
In the green group - you get spins and crashes when the laws of physics are broken. Fortunately/Unfortunately - the new cars are SO capable and their electronic nannies are so competent that some of these folks think they are Mario Andretti because they can produce sub 2:30 laps at Sebring. The problem is when they build up speed and do something stupid that can't be saved by electronic nannies. The other contributor is the speed of the cars - one thing to be doing 90 and spin - whole different ballgame when you are doing 120.
My first response to a student when I feel the electronic nannies kick in - is What just happened? If they can't immediately tell me what happened we will be slowing down for a while.
