really painful to see this 
if i see somebody stupid trying to ram me from behind no matter what - i let him pass ASAP so he can go and crash away.
if he is slowing me down - i slow down for few seconds to open the gap.
at the end of the session obviously it's a must to talk to him AND the organizers....

I just rewatched the entire video... what a complete ****show. The driving from both was **** poor, especially from the Mustang. The entire video screamed of some meatstick who just wanted to hammer the throttle. Well, you get what you get.
What is maybe a little interesting is that on the laps he was closer to the GT3, the Mustang driver would start to brake when the GT3 driver did. He was also squirrly under braking and neither in control or smooth, and while braking kept angled straight rather than to the left where the track surface and corner went. On the accident lap, he didnt have the GT3 as his reference, AND clearly didnt have his own reference points. Again, just about mashing the gas and the brake. Given the entire session, what happened was an inevitability and surprised didnt happen sooner.
Also, early in the video there appeared to be multiple passes without a point. I went a looked a couple times for each, and maybe I'm just not seeing them, but there were several early on that didnt appear to have been signaled.
So much fain in everything about the video and incident....
