Final lap at road america.
I was up there watching the race yesterday. The pace of the Porsche and the Ferrari was insane. The rest of the field had zero chance. We were watching the 912 gain 2 seconds a lap. Anyway, the final few laps was a great battle for 2ND between the 911 and the 458. After 15-20 laps the Porsche just could not pass him, so I looked up who the drivers were...and there I knew what was going to happen..it was jorg bermiester in the Porsche. I knew he would just smash his way through. Sure as **** on the last turn he just slammed the Ferrari out of his way. Still shows he got 2ND on imsa, but I'm waiting for a press release to send him back to 3rd. Anyone hear any news?
I can't stand that guy. Ever since he sent the vette into the wall on purpose years ago.

You're talking about the day he smashed into Jan Magnussen at Laguna Seca I believe?

I can't stand him either. Yesterday's pass was fairly clean though. I watched it and replayed it a few times. He didn't touch the Ferrari until they were along side and they both came together but not really intentionally. Guy in the Ferrari lost control, Jorg didn't and went onto win. It was a phenomenal battle for 2nd.

Ya, with Jan. Couldn't remember the track though.

The announcers actually predicted it as well several laps before, that there would be no pass without contact. Truth of the matter is on that track, cars a "little" faster could not pass without "help", either a bump or traffic or something. This one seemed pretty clean, no way you can give a penalty there. The Ferrari actually went off after clear of the contact
