Twelve hours? What twelve hours? That was the "Fraction of a Second of Sebring"! No wonder they call it the Porsche-Ferrari WARS.........
Amazing!!!! Unfortunately, it looked like Melo may have gotten a little rough and may be penalized. Speed played the radio communication of Borgmeister telling his team to immediately to go protest. Was still one of the most exciting race finishes Ive ever seen. It makes me feel a little better about not going since I wouldn't have seen that battle. As I'm typing this the Speed announcer says that the IMSA race director has said "Thats just good hard racing."
IMSA GT2 and the Ferrari/Porsche shootout prove they can match the thrill of 2007 NASCAR Daytona 500! Great race! Congratulations Ferrari!
What an exciting ending of the GT2 race. I hope the next one is clean and the 430s are not "accidently bumped"
That's racing, he didn't take him out so there isn't much you can really say. At any rate i believe Melo did an excellent job. Hopefully Melbourne will turn out as well as Sebring did. Go Kimi!
The officials nickel and dime the teams all night for things like the pit crew guys helmet being down and then they let this happen?? I'm tired of garbage driving being rewarded because the officials are too chicken $h!t to penalize at the end of a race.
One of the closest and exciting finishes I've seen. Great job by both drivers, I'm happier that the Ferrari finished first. Congrats to Melo!
bergmeister was very clean in his pass...melo was not so clean. bergmeister has a reason to feel as if there should be a penalty. what a great race however...it is really great that the gt-2 class seems to have the proper depth. if they can only get someone to contest audi and corvette in lmp-1 and gt-1 respectively...then sports car racing may be alive and well again in north america. grand am opened w/ a thrilling daytona and alms w/ sebring!!!! great stuff.
Bullsh*t. Bumping, rubbing, and door banging have been a part of sportscar racing forever. Bergmiester can complain but EVERY SINGLE other driver I saw interviewed, as well as the IMSA Race Director, said it was just good, hard racing and admitted they'd do exactly the same thing.
Those interviewed looked like they were attempting to be diplomatic to me. If this same move would have happened on lap 1 the Ferrari would no doubt have been penalized. "Rubbin' is racing" belongs in Nascar, I think they race on Sundays. You should check it out.
