I removed the classy post in question. 
If the cars were owned by gotham and the drivers were employees you can be sure gotham will be sued. gotham's insurance in on the hook for losses no matter what, both the car insurance and the company's GL insurance. the drivers will get theirs separately, and I'm sure gotham's legal management will be dragged into civil suits as well. I'd wager gotham disappear as a legal entity very soon. |
I'm sure that Gotham will have to pay out for something, but I don't think it will be much more than an insurance pay out. You will have to prove that Gotham was someone responsible for the ****heads driving.
The legal docs that they have to sign are not that easy to blow through. When you are talking about several hundred thousands of dollars of cars being driven by people who have various levels of driving education around track conditions, expect these docs to be pretty tough to get through.

Whatever money Gotham has to pay out, if they have to pay out, they are going to sue the kids for damage of company property, breach of contract, and maybe something along the lines of damage to the company's image, etc etc.
