I was once doing a racing course on a famous track IRL, and after doing several drills, laps with instructors, etc…for a day and at the end of doing the same thing on the 2nd day we finally had the first time to be able to run free for 30 min on our own and have the video recorded for us to take home(the age of DVDs) but there was one young(arrogant) girl in the class. And wouldn’t you know it, after we all get out on track and barely warmed up she flys off track 5 minutes into the 30 min and gets stuck in the sand so now everyone else gets yellow flagged to pull back into pits and wait for the truck to come and pull her out. So essentially all of our cockpit videos are all ruined and we maybe got 1 lap uninterrupted.
I don't know if the driver was female, but the same thing happened last year to someone I know who attended the Skip Barber school at COTA. Fortunately, the trucks worked fast and they only lost about ten mins., but those are ten very expensive minutes.
