ALMS Laguna - corvette FTL!
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!!
Bone head vette boys at ALMS

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

Road racing rules to live by.
Corvette just got a taste of what you get when you don't race clean.

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..

Yup... BOTH...
IMSA announced Monday that it has placed Flying Lizard Motorsports’ Jorg Bergmeister and Corvette Racing’s Jan Magnussen on a two-race probation period for the start of the 2010 American Le Mans Series season, following Saturday’s GT2 battle at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

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

#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.

It was really sad to see James Sofronas' GT3 cup car all beat up sitting in the GMG booth. He dominated the speed world challenge GT race the next day

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!
