^ Wow! The guy in the 'Vette was really on it! What a way to cross the line, does it still count as a lap when you're ass first and smashed to bits?

Yeah he still finished second, we was more sideways going across the line. I watched this live yesterday on Speed HD and couldn't believe that move he pulled that move, must have been quite the rumble between crews post race.

Is it just me who thinks the Porsche driver was way out of line pushing him up against the wall like that? I mean, once the Vette is next to him there's not really much other you can do than floor the pedal and hope he doesnt overtake you. Pushing him against the wall like that should definitely not be allowed imo.

Bush league move by the Porsche driver. If moves like that were allowed in racing, it would be chaos every race, like Death Race 2000 every weekend.

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

The guy in the Vette was being a douche the whole time. Earlier in the lap trying to push the lizard into the dirt and getting himself in the dirt and then jamming him in the rear on the final turn. Screw him he deserved everything he got...

There is something to be said about not taking him towards the wall but he also technically was in front on exit of the hairpin so he had the line, but why don't you comment on the fact that it's the corvette that had initiated contact twice prior to that and could have lifted instead of pushing back across Jorg and ultimately crashing
