Only a "glass is half full" race team owner could call that vid "highlights". Do you have an exorcism planned before VIR? I'd wish you good luck, but average luck would be an improvement. I guess fast cars and bad luck is better than slower cars and bad luck. The faithful are always with you. Greg
Wow, a whole lot of heartache in that vid... Any word yet on wether the Kia driver will get disciplined? The video is pretty clear on what happened--someone could get seriously hurt or worse from a chicken**** move like that....
Yea.....Jonsonn needs to take some more driving lessons. That was a pretty rookie move. All he got was drive through penalty for the contact. We all really need to start the bad voodoo exorcism dance real quick to help out RSR !
That was a lot of mayhem what's been the results? Are the officials "that's racin'" or are they interested in getting some drivers to learn a bit about how to race on a track? Matt
WOW, that honda's vision was incredible to see sarah spinning in from the most blind area of the car and for him to avoid that. That was impressive. That Kia driver moved over for absolutely no reason, looks like he could have stuffed it down the inside with plenty of space.
saw an interview with the Kia driver later in the race- he claimed that Sarah bumped him just a little while before and that he returned the favor, with extra. Never saw the earlier bump.
That is disappointing to hear. A bump that early in the race is probably just one of those racing things. To retaliate just shows low class and builds animosity among the drivers.
As the driver is a reg Rolex driver and not a reg Continental driver I would hope the Kia team doesn't bother hiring him for any more races. No one needs that kind of press. I looked for a way to email Nic Jonsson, but came up empty. But I did find the Kia team page/email [email protected]. Might send a note letting the team know how we feel about the incident.
