I guess that the second car would be legally at fault, even though he probably never saw the sports car passing him. Maybe they would be both be technically at fault since the posted speed limit for the circles is 20mph, but the sports car driver would probably insist that he was doing only 19mph.
One thing that I find a bit confusing is that the lane dividers are dotted as you go around most of the circles. Doesn't that mean that they can be crossed? Maybe the dividers should be solid, clearly indicating that they may not be crossed.

Look at the roundabout as a big circle. There are cars entering at each entrance, so someone is always crossing the line if going 180 degrees.
