I'm amazed that they had permission to run so close to the helicopters.   As 
many of the drivers appeared to be stereotypical exotic car buffoons (people 
with enormous amounts of money who buy super-fast cars and haven't a clue how 
to drive *anything*, much less a 200 mph supercar), the potential for carnage 
seemed huge to me.

Can you imagine phoning up Haggarty and telling them that you crashed into a 
$20 million attack helicopter and totalled it?   THAT would be an interesting 
insurance claim!!!
