I can't remember if cars got damaged but watching the video you'd swear it was going to happen on almost every run.

They didn't fix things properly according to the ADRL, who refused to race there. Thus the lawsuit which I would bet has been thrown out by now. I would think the track is obligated to provide a safe venue (or at least meet previous stipulations) but I'm not a lawyer.

Just another data point as to the track's operation.
Heres the video of the ADRL race, yes cars were damaged and the ADRL never went back after this.
