O.k. Thats the video. What do you think. From what i hear both drivers have been suspended from a number of races.

Discuss.

lol at comments as usual

yes the vette bumped the porsche but could have been a case of being late on the brakes. no need to force the vette into the wall though

Could have killed each other so they deserve to be suspended tbh. However would the Vette have won if he hadn't slammed into the porsche.. probably not.

Although it does look like the porsche is still on defense when the vette spins, not like he tried to spin him out harshly. Just pin him into second place.


EDIT: better clip here of the Vettes antics throughout the race!!

Thats just the lights, if you look at other shots most of the cars lights are that bright. The Vette was easily the faster car, Bergmeister did some great defensive driving in the porsche and while trying to loosen him up on the last corner was a bit cheap, running someone that wide that they either go into the wall or cut across spinning themselves into another wall is even cheaper. Both drivers didnt really drive very sportingly but i suppose in racing, you can get caught up in the moment and tempers can flare. Depends which way you look at it. Iv looked at it as objectivly as i can and for all Magnassuns rough housing and blantent cheating driving across the pit exit to get the overtake dont think he deserved being forced into the wall.
