"The sole claim against Porsche was that the CGT was defective because it was designed without electronic stability control"

awesome.

"several states had ruled that releases are ineffective against claims for ordinary negligence, even in auto racing situations."

awesomer.

"the Court received amicus curiae briefs from a number of organizations, including NASCAR and the California Speedway Association, predicting the demise of spectator racing and numerous types of recreational activities if the Court adopted this rule. The Court brushed them off"

awesomest.

Perhaps it is time for beds to come with the following warning for the US.... Getting out of this bed can lead to serious injury or death.

The US legal system is totally screwed up. Both of those killed knew that getting into a car such as that and going onto a racetrack had the potential for them to be killed - they accepted the risk. If they didn't then they showed contributory negligence. It is unfortunate for those left behind, but that is fact. Having competed in many motorsport events in the last 20 years I know that every time I pulled on those overalls and donned a helmet that I might not come back..... I stopped as soon as my wife got pregnant.

Maybe the "passenger" who was killed did not know or appreciate the risk of the track's wall being moved closer to the driving surface so that kiddies who attended the NASCAR event could have a place to play? It is fair to assume the risk of driving fast and accidents that may occur, but one of the contributing factors appeared to be the defective condition of the track which may not have been foreseeable by the decedent prior to the time of his death...let's not throw blanket statements over corpses.
