      That is my definition as well. Just like when people play Forza and GT and such. Can't quite make the pass... just use the car in front of you to hold the line or bump them a bit. Oops.

      That was dive bombing in my book. I seriously doubt they would be going side side like they did if he had not punted him and loosened up the rear of the car.

        Earnhar... er... Magnussen knows it too.

        That was NOT good racing. I love sportscars and prototypes but ALMS needs to make sure they keep things clean all the way through the season.

          If you read the youtube comments a guy made a good observation. The porsche did not push the the vette into the left side wall. The vette was actually pushing on the porsche to stay away from the wall. The porsche driver did was give a bit more room, and some brakes which set the vette off balance and made it spin.
          IE: reverse pit maneuver.
