That was completely wreckless what the F430 did, pretty ballsy.

Default Reminds me of the junkers I used to watch as a kid

The commentator said, "We'd all do the same thing." Maybe if he was driving a super-modified Dodge Duster at Saturday Night at the Races on the 3/8 mile oval in Elk Point, South Dakota but at Sebring? Get real! That was dirty and bogus.

if somebody dd that to me at that part of the track (turn 17) I'd have to change my pants. That's a dangerous part of that turn. The first bump was racing - the 2nd bump should have earned him a penalty

Definitely one of the most Chicken Sh.. moves of the year, I'll bet. I had a garage full of people watching the race on a 6' screen when it happened. All Porsche nuts. You probably could've heard us howling all the way over at Sebring.

The first tap might have been a 'racing incident' but he didn't need to try to move Jorg over towards the wall. I don't believe Melo really needed to 'lay his car on Jorg's at all', and the kicker is, had he not done that Jorg would have made it to the line first. Bad move and I hope the karma comes back to bite Melo in the a$$.

I think if the on track positions were reversed the same thing may have happened , not sure if it was intentional . I will say this, that was an awesome bit of footage!
