Pro racing is getting harder and harder to watch for me.

I thought it was pretty entertaining. Third place in GTP was one of the cars on a flatbed, LMP2 car finishes 3rd overall with an Indycar driver at the wheel, and the 1st place car had been beat to E36 M3 earlier in the race.

E36 M3ty ending, but did not look malicious to me.

In reply to preach (dudeist priest) :

Agreed, just a racing incident fueled by impatience. Too bad it collected other cars besides the initial two protagonists.

Lol I posted on minor rant thread that Sebring went full nascar last night.

I was hoping to watch the end of the race, as I got to see hours 8-10.  But a hockey game overruled that, and it ended almost the same time Sebring finished.

The problem with this online racing is the drivers don't have to worry about actual damage to their cars...

...oh, wait.

 

Yeah, I didn't see anything really blatant there, just some small things that compounded quickly.  Certainly aggressive, but they are racing.

It didn't look blatant to me either.  

One of those racing incidents where you look like a genius if it works and an impatient twat if it doesn't.

They went more full Nascar than the Nascar Cup series did this weekend.  One blown tire, one aero loose spin, both of which crashed a number of cars, but they ran to the finish green.  Remarkable.

Of course, the Xfinity series made up for it on Saturday.  More yellow laps than green, I think, but I slept through the last two hours of it.
