^+1 If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. The Vette driver got what he deserved. He pushed, the porsche pushed back a little harder.

^^ agreed. The Vette driver wasn't going to win. No need to bump the Porsche.

You should see all of the harsh words Johnny O'Connell (the team mate of the guy driving the vette) is saying on facebook about the Porsche driver this morning

Like no one has ever pulled that move on Bergmeister. Fast forward to 4:25 to see what I'm talking about.
YouTube - Battle - Final lap ALMS Sebring GT2

Right before that you can see Magnussen bump the back of the Porsche. Both guys we're driving dirty so it is no surprise to me that this was the outcome. Jorg is a badass and one of my favorites of Porsche's factory drivers.

^Fair enough. It takes two to tango and they have been battling all season. In all fairness to the vette team, they were running much faster than the Porsche the last part of the race.....

Great race and good season overall.

Good point JC. Jan got what he deserved. The Vette guys are super pissed today.

Jan tried a dumb move in T1 and ended up paying for it. Not to mention Corvette is probably mad ALMS hasn't helped them cheat their way through the last 1/2 of the season . .

It was not live.

This race was done Saturday.

Speed thought that Grand am and barrett jackson auctions where more important.
