I don't think the Porsche was blocking- he never moved over except to take an apex and often gave racing room. The BMW never "had the corner". It certainly as frustrating for the BMW driver because the Porsche was so much faster on straights but the Porsche driver took bad lines and braked too soon in the corners. A little better driving and the Porsche wins hands-down. But it looks like they had fun!

I suppose moving over for an apex isn't considered blocking,however the BMW was surely faster through most corners,so who is holding whom up? The BMW finally gets by,and the Porsche driver punts him off track.. That act alone demonstrated the Porsche drivers true intention in my book;stay in front,regardless. Oh well..that's racing!

His track out at 8:55 seemed a little out of line to me as well. Seems like he should have left a little more room, no?

Excellent display of blocking by the Porsche and tempered patience by the BMW driver. Interesting to see a paddle car with a stick backup.

Wow, that was cool. I wonder if the Porsche just had the tires going away from all the pressure. Certainly a good example of how patience works. I was surprised the BMW driver didn't just punt the Porsche in one of the longer sweepers..

The facial expressions as he hits the ramp, takes off, and lands are just awesome. - Paul G.

Not at all funny. This is a horrific accident and sobering reminder of how quickly things can go wrong.

almost like Juan Pablo Montoya under yellow flag last night at Daytona.

^Except Pablos was due to a mechanical failure,not driver error. His interview after the incident still makes me chuckle... Sure did mess up the race for a few hrs..

That video above is devastating...

The comments in Russian said something about them finding bits and pieces of body parts all over the place, the vehicle quite literally exploded into a 1000 pieces and the frame was run over by the truck. Pretty horrific.

At least it was quick.

This is what happens if you go off-line. Probably the driver's spouse decided to nag at exactly the wrong time.

That clip was kind of a two-fer - wonder if the guy shooting the launch broke his camera.
