Newbie here. As someone who has just been introduced to IT racing, and starting to take baby steps to becoming an IT racer, I've been thinking about something. Legally speaking, can racers be sued by other racers? Whether it be for car damages or actually bodily harm. I'm under the impression that you can't, but I just don't understand what legal prevents this from happening. Do you waiver the right when you sign the waiver to enter the track? How about when you register as a driver for the event? Or is there just some law, or lack of law that doesn't allow this to happen? Sure there is incidental contact, especailly on the first lap (poor General Li), that may be acceptable, but what about actually recklessness?

As you can see I don't know anything about the law with regards to racing. Any help, especailly from any lawyers that might be here, would be great.
