It was crazy, i saw both of the beamers crash. One of them was right behind me. It was turn 5 and he over steered, over corrected and just flew into the tire wall on the right. It was insane watching it in my rear view mirror. The other BMW scraped i think his driver side on turn 4, i think he spun and went into the wall and scraped it.
Yep, as a noobie to this particular track, this is definitely not the place to "test the limits" of your car or your skills. I had 2 scary incidents on my first time there:

1. On my first lap completely misjudged the corkskrew and didn't turn enough (the turn is blind) which caused me to fly over the apex on the inside of the turn.

2. On lap 3 did a 360 into the dirt at turn 2. (Turn 2 is tighter than I initially thought)

After my first session, I toned it way down and the rest of the day was super fun and safe.
