The first turn on the first lap is often the scene of major accidents. The combination of dense traffic and excited drivers may find several cars making contact and running off track.

If you’re responsible for your repair bill, no pass is worth crashing your car. Take it easy and drive with extra caution in the heavy braking corners.
