That's horseshit. If I were in the crew and somebody drove my guy into a wall that driver may have a hard time getting out of the car. I'm all for intense wheel to wheel driving, that was uncalled for. Moreover, I CAN'T believe he wasn't severely reprimanded. That's just physical assault.

Driving someone into the wall with the intent to do harm is wrong. I think the drive should not get the win and have his license suspended. Bumping happens in racing, but this intentionally putting someone into the wall is uncalled for. I had a person cut me off to the point that he hit my driver's front fender with his passenger rear fender. I could have easily pitted the guy.

I agree. At a minimum I think he should have been stripped of the win.

Back in the 70s (yea how about that) we would road race for money---it was the basic if you can pass me you win kind of thing. During that period of time I learned just about every dirty trick there was to NOT allow a car to pass you. Never would I have EVER put someone into a mountain or fence. I would do everything else though.
You should see Darlene's face when I use some of these "tricks" on people that have pissed me off.

My fellow American V8 brothers, it pains me to say this, but after looking at more of the footage from Laguna Seca I am siding with the Porsche. With the amount of contact throughout the race that the factory Corvette team had with everyone I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier.
I'm going to hide in my closet an weep myself quitely to sleep.

I did not see the race. Are you saying they were bumping and grinding (either sloppy or intentionally intimidating) the other teams through the race and were just reaping what they sowed?
