I didn't see anything wrong with what you did. Quite a surprise. If the Porsche was going to pit out, he should have been on the right side with his fist out. Have you shown him this video?
No haven't sent it to Porsche guy. I might forward it to the track manager and have him try to contact the guy. |
nice save. All that other guys fault.

Wait was that an alternate configuration/bypass that is coned off? As in not the actual track exit? He shouldn't have done that unless he was having mechanical problems. 100% that guys fault, what an idiot. You did a good job of not plowing into him.

He needs to stop concerning himself with in-car Porsche issues in the middle of an active track and watch his damn mirrors. He could have killed you by stopping and turning in front of you.

If you're looking for something to do differently, that would be it. Was this on an outlap? I know that if I were closing on a vehicle at that rate I would have lifted much earlier, out lap or not.
Taking a shortcut through the infield would be considered a big problem with most organizations as well. |
you pass a camaro that's beading in pads while green, and then a Porsche tries to take you out. you need to find a better group of people to drive with. this is a nasa commercial.

I disagree. On the street, yes, but the track is supposed to be a more controlled environment. I pass off-pace cars on the straights that are off line regularly because mechanical failures are common on the track. What you don't usually see is an off-pace car crossing the track 3/4 of the way down the straight without checking his mirrors. It's ludicrous.
Taking a shortcut through the infield would be considered a big problem with most organizations as well. I Slow down when passing mechanical failure cars. I think not slowing down to pass a car that's obviously going way slower than race pace is unwise. No lap time is worth that risk in my opinion. If neither of those guys were called out on their unsafe behavior, You definitely need to find a new group to run with. |
That wasn't a real exit though. If it was the track exit I might be a little more cautious. But that was a conned of section of the track, the porsche had no business going there.

Someone jammed a motorcycle straight up my ass when I was slowing to let someone merge onto the track. A motorcycle, the track is fucking huge and he picked where I was as where he wanted to go.
Dammed if you do, possibly dammed if you don't. |

Either way- someone with a racecar (not street car) should know better period. |
If the organizers were not concerned with the two cars you passed I would consider running with different organizers.
