Ken,
The flagger waived a Ferrari out onto the track and the guy didn't go right away. When he did finally did get moving he entered the track in front of Ben (the guy driving in the CGT) and Cory (his passenger - his wife was the one that sued). Ben tried to move around him and lost control of the car and ended up striking a barrier.
I have my opinion as to what all went wrong but I don't see any negligence. Unfortunately I was not on the jury.

Eric,
The CGT case was well-publicized on the boards a while back. I don't know the outcome either. The issue there was an allegedly negligent flagger who flagged the CGT onto the track even though there were other cars rapidly approaching pit-out. Sounds like human error, probably negligence.
