GT2 class corvette No 3 and 4 are bunch of idiot and bully the whole day at Laguna this past weekend. First vette No 4 took out 3 cars at turn 2 by going too fast and forcing the issue (1:24 in the video below) - which took out race leader GT3 from GMG. Then the same No 4 clipped a prototype and ended it's day
We all know about what happen at the end with vette No 3 and GT3 RSR #45. I am glad Bergmeister stood his ground with the RSR!!
ya, the Corvette guys drove like ass clowns from what you show in the video.
Payback is a B!%CH. Way to go PORSCHE!!!!!!

It's funny how these things goes. I enjoy a competitive race but not a bunch of bone heads out to end other people's race
Rule #1 If in doubt, take em out!
Rule #2 Punt em in the ass, put em in the grass!
Road racing rules to live by.
Corvette just got a taste of what you get when you don't race clean.

I'm guessing there is going to be a lot of reviews and sanctions here for both Porsche and Corvette.
Both of them under probation for next year, but no change to the results of the race...
The Corvettes were throwing their weight around all day and drove numerous other competitors off track, especially coming out of turn 2.. I'm all for hard racing and have pulled off some pretty hard moves myself on track, but still.. that was all a bit too much I think..

#45 had to to protect his line and position especially when someone dive bomb and hit him in the rear into a turn. You had to see the entire race. What the corvette guys did was just ugly. These teams spend so much money and time just to make it this far and then some bone head bombo bee with big V8 smash into you and end the season.

Interesting and thanks for the link.
Here is the detail account:
Magnussen managed to take the lead with two minutes remaining, passing Bergmeister on the front straight in the pit exit lane. But he later had to surrender the position because officials deemed it an illegal pass. However, Magnussen quickly closed back up to the Porsche on the final lap.
The two collided in the final corner and began banging fenders in the drag race to the checkered flag. Bergmeister dived to the inside, with Magnussen getting clipped by the Porsche, sending him hard into the concrete wall just shy of the start/finish line. Bergmeister wound up taking the win by 1.037 seconds.
The controversial finish sent shock waves through the paddock afterward, but IMSA made no adjustments to the final results. They instead elected to place Bergmeister and Magnussen on probation.
Should either driver commit further offenses in the first two rounds next year, they will receive at minimum a two-race ban from competition
-- Leave it to the bombo bee to pass the RSR on pit exit lane lol

Yeah, it sucks when people are driving aggressive as to mess up your line, but a crash like that could've resulted in serious injury. Thank God no one was hurt.

Yes, that is to be thankful that no one was hurt. They even stand next to each other for photo on the podium lol

Jorg wasnt going to lose another one by getting punted in the rear at the last turn. Last time it was the Risi 430 that punted him to the side and took the race win. He learned from that and held his ground against the Corvette (who as stated was driving like an idiot all race), and took the win!

Well said and Jörg was not going to let some bully push him around especially with that dive bomb stunt at the last turn
