This is more up to date. The Ford set the best race lap.

If the Corvette would have gone full throttle a couple of feet earlier (where he normally would have), he wouldn't have gotten tapped.

As someone else said, just a racing incident.
Wow. That is certainly not what I saw, nor what happened......you might be a p-car guy

Then open your eyes.

I don't even like Porsches, I've owned no car other than Corvettes (except race cars) since high school.

But I understand what happens on track..........from experience.
