The Vauxhall driver made unnecessary contact earlier as well with a blocking move, the 370 driver should have just punted him right there.

Chris was in the other 370z :tiphat:

vauxhall driver tired to bump him and make him spin out so he could keep going, but it back fired and he took himself out.

My wife tells me I rewind too much. When Nissan comes out with a button that can do that, I'll definitely switch cars.

What happened to the video?

chuckd05 09-08-2010 01:57 PM

i would be one angry person if i was driving the 370z ... is that normal for those types of races ?

the fat guy in the vauxhall is a major douche. he clearly can see the 370z in his peripheral vision yet deliberately turned into him anyway. he was probably trying a PIT manoeuvre to spin the z and overtake him to regain the position, but screwed it up. and then he has the audacity to throw a fit on the gravel outside the turn.

by the way, why does the description of the video say they were racing the roadster when it was clearly the coupe?

The description says they drove a Roaster to the track and then jumped into a coupe.

WTF? I can believe they let that fat pos get away with that. it is clear that his intention was to spin the 370z driver out. what an a-hole.

Do'h - the crash occured AFTER the chequered flag ..... the 370Z driver is a dork for not seeing the chequered flag so this is an entirely avoidable incident. I hope the 370Z driver is pinged severely by the race stewards because this is a "rank amateur" error. No wonder the Vauxhall driver is pi55ed off !!!!

Ummm, hate to break it to you but the Z is perfectly fine for what he did, the Vauxhall deliberately hit the Z.

Because it is much lighter than our Z

He should of raced the 7AT... that way, he would of been far enough ahead to not be in the fat man's way.:tup:

The scene with the checkered flag is showing the other 370Z; there were two 370Z's racing.
