Im not talking about this incident inparticular, Probation is for any form of avoidable contact and arguably the #3 car caused quite a few instance of avoidable contact during Leguna Seca and most of this season.

If you want to interpret it that way then do so.

and the #3 car had at least 5 incidents of avoidable contact during leguna seca alone, your point is?

I voted for Jorg being at fault. I mean Jan was clearly faster he did everything he could to get around Jorg without making contact even after Jorg ran him off the track twice before the last incident and finally on the last corner Jan got him lose and went for the pass its a classic move. Jorg decided he had to put Jan in the wall for it. Jan went all the way across the track to avoid making more contact with Jorge but as you can see that wasn't good enough for him.

i think jorg was at fault.
i can imagine the adrenelin takes over in a situation like that. after the tap through turn 11 and realising jan was faster he would do anything not to lose out on the win right on the finish straight.
But he should of given jan room. that crash looked pretty scarey and he could of been hurt.
that sort of driving shouldnt be going on, its gt racing at one of the highest levels.
but hey thats racing!

your point is that because of everything that happened before this race and during this race before the incident somehow gives merit to Jan being at fault.

There WAS plenty of room. The other side. Jan could back off the throttle.
Racing incident.

like I said before, "what goes around, comes around" or maybe 'treat others as you would wish to be treated'

so are you saying you think Joerg spun Jan for the bump?
i agree that most drivers in all series will treat others as they treat everyone else, but i guess i have focused on what i saw between T11 and S/F. that seems to be where the real difference of opinion lies.

d.rocky · 16 Oct 2009, 14:16 (Ref:2562744)

i cant see it being payback for the bump... more like 'theres no way im letting him past now!'
the more i think about it the more i think racing incident.
