There actually wasn't any contact. The problem is that the Puegot pushed the Vette off its line and upset the GT chassis, which is FAR less forgiving to sudden moves than the prototypes are. The F1 boys are damned careful about contact because they're open wheelers. Tire to tire is a disaster for everybody. They also have a culture of no-contact (opposite of NASCAR).

Well, Carlos. What's your opinion. That's just my amateur spectator opinion based on what I saw, and heard from the more experienced people. You're a Vette driver. Whattaya think? Dick move or legitimate by Peugot?

Rule of hte land the Peugshit had position on the Corvette and therefore was not at fault. That is the rule. All the Peugot did was take the line/turn in point away.

The problem with this is that rule is based on historical racing. That means that the speed/cornering differentials are minimal.

In ALMS and LMS series there are five different classes running with the fastest cars (Peugot/Audi) being near F-1 speeds and GT-3 which are basicly Porsche GT-3 (factory) level. This means that the faster cars must be patient with the production based cars.

That didn't happen. The Corvette crashed and the GT-2 lead car was taken out. This is significant because GT-2 is the most competative class in any race series. That faggot should have waited. He was out of contention and he fucked us.
