Interesting video... though it kinda looked like the other guy drove up on his rear quarter.. Must admit I chuckled to see the pit guy working on the car after the incident. Like every hopeful Z owner.. A little more polish.... it'll rub out!

What was with the really abrupt, herky-jerky passing that he was doing in the Z? Right before the accident it's like he's sawing the wheel back and forth, and you can see the car wobble left and right 3-4 times. Certainly not smooth. Not the most experienced driver?

Though that is no reason for him bumping the Z after that when neither lost control, the second bump was obviously intentional and took both of them out.

Look like he hit him on purpose. You can clearly see the black car jerk into the Z.

The Vauxhall turned into the corner the same place he did on the previous lap, but duh if there is a car there then your going to have to brake a little harder and turn in later. Yes the 370Z driver probably out braked himself and would have run wide but no excuse for that kind of contact. The Vauxhall driver made unnecessary contact earlier as well with a blocking move, the 370 driver should have just punted him right there.
