that vette had it coming??? that guy in the porsche is a little bitch, pushing him into the wall like that.. Id get out and punch that fucker in the face. the vette was quicker in every way, thats why the porsche did that..

"rubbin is racing", i agree, but that shit was uncalled for.

sorry, ive vented my non-related steam for the day ;)

from what I saw, and in the comments, it seems the Porsche attempted to block the Vetta on the left and the Vette was obviously pressing back and they connected. The porsche then hit the brakes...Vette veered to the right, slid and went into the opposing wall. Not very nice indeed, but the Vette did some pretty shitty moves during the last few laps as well. He was clearly the faster car though. Was very fun to watch them go back and forth. Vetta driver must play Gran Turismo with cutting into the pit lane like that :)

The Porsche was the better driver. he could hold the better line. The second the Vette would take the lead, he would immediately go off the race line. Letting the Porsche take the lead again. Everyone knows its easier to follow than lead.

I feel bad for the Vette, but tapping that Porsche like that to push him off the line (knowing that in a straight line he'd take the lead out of that corner) was the shitty move. I don't like that the Porsche blocked him so hard on the left but after getting pushed out like that I'd do the same..

that was intense. Holy crap. I feel bad for the vette driver. Faster car deserves a chance on the straight away. If only he hadn't been driving in the manner he did the last few laps, the Porsche might not have played that game...

The Porsche may have gone a bit too far at the end but that bump by the Vette coming out of the last turn was bush league too. But what the Porsche did after that was something you'd see playing Forza online, not in real life lol. Crazy finish.

My boyfriend and I argued about who's fault it was for a good two hours. But either way, this video was pretty fun to watch, even with the crash at the end.
