GT Porsche vs Compuware Corvette

sorry if this is a repost

Awesome! that Vette was faster but the Porsche out handled him and played him at the end by braking him and clipping him right before the finish line. Excellent strategy and great tricks with the Porsche driver....winning is winning lol! He let the Corvette know that he was sick of him trying to "love tap" him from behind so he game him a taste of his own medicine at the end. LOL!

Porsche FTW!

Tough way to end that amazing last few laps. The Vette should have backed off when he knew he was going to get pinched into the wall.

The Porsche should not have pushed him to the wall.

Well, it was a close finish without doubt, but it did not reflect well on the professionalism of either driver. Under their rules, there were clearly violations of both the blocking and avoidable contact rules. I would have disqualified both of them.

great racing up until that last stretch... would love to be a fly on the wall once those two had a chance to catch up face to face!

Great battle! Some dirty moves were used. But when competition gets heated that's what happens I still think it was great tactics used on both their parts.

Deliberately crashing someone at those speeds it tantamount to attempted murder. The vette driver is lucky to be alive and the Porsche driver is lucky that he has not suffered any reprisals. I'd go after him.

What would your opinion be if it had been the Porsche that had been deliberately crashed? I realize that racing is racing, but criminal behavior should not be sanctioned. This was a bush-league, NASCAR move.
