You have to appreciate a person willing to put forward his or her opinion, even when they know that it will not be well received.
I would have to say that the Porsche team did what was needed to win. Good for them. I think that the aggressive driving and deliberate punting of cars off the track by the Factory Corvette team was completely uncalled for, but racing is racing. Karma has a way of evening the score sooner or later.
I hate to see cars deliberately shunted off the track, but lets face it, it does occasionally happen. I think that the Corvette got what it deserved, and I am especially glad that no one was seriously hurt. Overall I think that it is the job of the officials to ensure that these types of actions have more serious penalties, but I think that until someone really gets hurt, that is unlikely to happen, which to me is the saddest part of all.
Just my .02 cents for what it is worth.
