Melo bumped Jorg!
 
NO WAY! Melo absolutely bumped Jorg at the end of the race! Does anyone know the specific rules with respect to that situation? In my mind Jorg won it.

there was worse contact in GT2 in alms last season, but still.

sweet baby jesus , don't you guys know anything about racing , Jorg was out driven and outfoxed , perfect race finish , Jamie Melos is a racer in anybodys books , jorg needs to be scolded for losing that not crying ... :nono:

Question was what do the rules say. That is all that should count.

Nothing will come of it , maybe jorg will be reprimanded for some low level driving by the team ....

race officials said it was just good, hard racing as to the protest by the Lizards

We finally see some real racing and now the cry goes out for the "rules"? Come on, Melo beat Jorg by taking the race from him. What next, a 13/13 rule in endurance racing? Even Perfect Porsche doesn't win every race.

Professional racing always involve's a little rubbing , it is the quality of the rubbing that makes them professionals :thumbup:

It was one heck of a race! I was riveted to my chair for the last ten minutes....Next time, Jorg will get 'em....

there were other avoidable contact penalties during the race for less...that's all I'm saying...

Ok , but this was the last lap , last corner for the victory , it is viewed differently

Jorg couldn't hold the defensive inside line through 17/18. Maybe dirt on his tires contributed when he got pinched on the back straight but great finish...I'd be pissed if Borg and pissing myself if I was Melo.

It was just a great race period , less hear it for all of these Guys period ! :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

Guys, I love a good race just as much as anyone and I had a blast watching that one. Point is there are rules for a reason and hopefully they are put in place to support great racing. So the question remains; was the bumping Melo did "real racing" or not (based on the book)? Personal opinions are great but I would love to see a quote from the book. It would be interesting.
