Found this on the CASC message boards. I hope this douche bag has been banned for life.

Watch as he checks his mirror before taking out the second car in 30 seconds.

Go back to Online racing... The real World doesn't need you. Well Maybe in Nascar. His stock probably went up there..

If this has been posted already sorry bout that..

He has to show up at the pits at some point in time. That's just dirty racing there.

I'm pretty sure if you try to do that in Gran Turismo, the game ghosts your car (so you don't actually run the other guy off) and cuts your power for a penalty, so even in online racing that guy would be a douchebag.

That's a good way to get your ass beat after the race. I heard that a kid tried something like that at msr cresson a few years back. Didn't put anyone in the wall but was "blocking" in a lapping session and a guy threw a torque wrench through his windshield when they got back to the pit.

Wow, that was stunning...

I know it happens, but sometimes I'm amazed that someone who will do something like that is functional enough to tie their shoes, go to work, and make enough money to go racing...

Was he also bumping the white car? Looks like he caused two wrecks....

I'd help hold him down..

With video like that, most sanctions would not let him come back for another event... Ever. NASA, SCCA, BMWCCA, etc.

That looks really bad. I have seen some pretty nasty moves in the heat of a race but that was bordering on criminal.

I've heard of hockey players being investigated for assault after really nasty illegal hits. Wonder if similar would apply here.

Ho-lee-crap! I know racing is dangerous, but if you put someone off the track on purpose like that it should be almost a crime. That's one of those situations where the other racers hog tie the bastard, then dismantle his car, his trailer, and his tow rig. And nobody will have seen a thing.

There is rough racing and aggressive guys in every series but that was some deliberate, ignorant E36 M3. Even if the cameraman had put him off there the lap previous and that was some payback... (there are always two sides) still intolerable nonsense.

If the stewards didn't pull his ticket - I hope anyone racing with him from here out makes sure he understands that you do have to go back to the paddock sometime and repeats of that will be corrected with a full grid to one "talkin' to"*.

  • by "talkin' to" I mean full on soap party ass-kicking.

He was.. He tapped the white car several times until he sent the car off. At least he was a bit subtle about it... The car with the camera on the other hand... He looked in his mirror, saw him there... Then sent him off!!! As the driver of the camera car said.... C*ck!!!!

I'd likely have an "accident" with the big tow vehicle in the pits after living through that level of idiocy.

I would have a hard time not killing that guy when I got to the pits. That or hop in his car and send it into a wall.

Ma5da championship is/was the Spec Pinata of the UK. This is one of the worse accidents I've seen there but pretty much all the cars I've encountered had some "battle scars".

For some reason, I've seen more idiocy on the track in the UK than out here, but that might just be because I tend to mostly go to SCCA events out here. Either way, it's much harder to get a race license in the US than it is in the UK...
