Laguna Seca GT2 vs Vette

Lol, you guys trashing on the Vette are cracking me up...

In the end, BOTH drivers were penalized. To quote my friend who avidly follows the sport:

Actually, both drivers are on probation, suspended, or both (can't recall) for the first two races next year.

Yes, the Vette was clearly faster. Once he got around (illegally, by using the pit out lane), he pulled quite easily on Jorg. Jorg did drive a fantastic defensive race, until the very end, though. Epic. Too bad he ruined it on the last straight.

As for the vette bumping the Porsche at the end...call it dirty all you want, but if you were the faster car constantly being cut off by an obviously slower car for quite a while, you might not give a crap twords the end, either lol. I'm pretty sure spinning him out at low speed, or making him briefly lose traction isn't nearly as bad as purposefully trying to push another car into a wall. And yes, that's exactly what he did.

not giving a crap towards the end, doesnt give him a right to cheat.

if the vette was a faster car then it should have won fair and square without having to use the pit lane or bumping into him. Like you guys always say, it was a drivers race.

Like others have said, the Porsche driver may have overbrake-d on purpose, just to cause that in the first place. But if you guys get angry at this, go watch NASCAR - a LOT more **** gets by in that joke of a sport IMHO.

Are you saying its kosher for someone to just constantly cut off a slower car? What if it was a whole field of slower cars?

In the end, both drivers were wrong, but the Porsche driver is no angel himself like everyone wants to make him seem

awesome race. bumping comes with racing, so do crashes. The vette was faster but that was a "drivers race"
