Any thoughts on the #22 Aston Martin driver's "move" this past weekend at LRP?

Yellow instructed driver means to me not even Solo to me. What group signed him off to race?. I could check if he went through NASA comp school but they are strict in their own way.

Curious why it seems you are on a crusade against his, the Porsche driver, licensing?
Driver clearly had a great weekend of competition. Lap times resulted personal best after each day. Race lap times were consistent amongst the group and in-class. Driver on track awarenesses and racecraft was on point. Must, in your opinion, someone have a PCA categorization above yellow to be qualified to race? Might it be said this PCA region missed an opportunity to coach up a good driver?

My concern is simply safety at all my events.. Instructed yellow student racing with what I see as seasoned drivers. Really now ? I'm just DE but I assure you he won't be welcome at my events. Let's combine Black group with Green? @%^*! That was one of the worst incidents I've ever seen at Lime Rock. Why defend him? It's a finite number of groups to run with here. We all need to look out for each other.

I'm not sure what PCA run group references have to do with anything here.
The Aston driver, who has been racing those cars here and abroad for many years, clearly made a big mistake, (IMO). His reaction is inexcusable, IMO, too.
I think the Porsche driver was completely blameless, based on the video.
So disappointing... Sorry for the P-car driver.

Driver took out Cup Car. What don't you see? Let's not bring in politics into this . Certain things seem clear.

**See video attachment of the car behind the #22 Green TA driver below.
If my support of the Porsche driver wasn't clear in earlier posts in this thread, let me be more clear; I'm saying why question the license of the CUP driver? He did nothing wrong. All weekend, he did nothing wrong. Handed his business on the track perfectly. Even as a newbie.
Why is the issue of his being "labeled" as a yellow, non solo driver, by PCA a problem? How is it relevant to the thread? Clearly he proved the judgement of the PCA labeling authority to be wrong. He was ready to solo. He clearly prepared for this event. So much so he raced really well.
Oh here is another video perspective from the car behind the Green TA car. You will see just how well the Porsche driver performed and how (IMO) the Green #22 TA driver was egregiously negligent.
