Vette versus Porsche, Laguna Seca

I'm just happy that it was a porsche in victory lane and not a vette...

Hey did audi win the 24 hrs of lemans again?
 
Bergmeister is a ###el!

The vette did not intentionally bump the Porche from behind, the Porche brake checked the Vette.
Plus if Magnussen wanted to make Bermeister spin, he would have waited another second when Bergmeister was turning into the corner.
They were still going straight when Mag accidentally bumper Berg from behind.
***EDIT*** After watching it again, it appeared Mag did bump him while they were turning in. Regardless though, Berg did not have to wreck the Vette.***EDIT***

Bergmeister was scared and he himself said adrenaline got the best of him.
He pinched Mag into the wall which was chicken sh!t.
Mag clearly had the faster car, or else Berg wouldn't have hit Mag in the rear quarter panel making him spin dangerously into the wall head-on at well over 100mph.

You wait, 2010 will be the year of the Vette in GT2.

The Vettes were still running the GT1 engine in all of the GT2 races with a restrictor plate in the induction system.
Next year the Vette will have a new engine that will walk all over the competition, you watch!

He did not brake check the Vette. He pumped the brakes to prepare for the turn. A lot of racers do it, I bet even the Vette's do it, in fact I'm positive the Vette's and Ferrari's do it. These are race cars, not street cars, parts move and rattle around during corners including the brake pistons. You need to get them back against the pad.
