Heart-pounding battle between Ferrari and Porsche

wow! I wonder if there is any video of the drivers meeting in the pits or the podium? I'll have to look. Thanks, very exciting.

That was pretty awesome. Isn't there rules against bumping people to make them slow down in these type of races? I'm not an expert on this stuff. Just seems like he ran into the guy to make him loose and went on and passed him. Why didn't the Porsche just run into the Ferrari earlier and pass him then if it's ok to do it?

And please, keep all Days of Thunder quotes about how "rubbin' is racing" out of it

In the Ferrari's defense they had double stinted their tires giving them a lot less grip. It does look like he squeezed him a bit so it'll probably get reviewed (if it hasn't been already). Fun to watch though, especially since I'm not a P car fan, except in P2 .

Yeah, I was there.

That was last year actually.

My buddies and I have gone every year for the past 15 years. I'll post a trip report one of these days.
