Big accident, Bradley goes into the wall, #47's race over, that looked like a bit of needle from G-Drive (who haven't been all that fair with the KCMG car of late).

Shameful stuff all-round from G-Drive.

Oracle · 11 Oct 2015, 07:55 (Ref:3581570)

That was inevitable.

tux · 11 Oct 2015, 07:55 (Ref:3581571)

That G Drive car has been a loose cannon all race and that was totally unacceptable.

Thought Yacaman was sorting himself out, obviously not.

Victor_RO · 11 Oct 2015, 07:57 (Ref:3581573)

Yacaman needs to be parked for the rest of the season for that move.

J Jay · 11 Oct 2015, 07:58 (Ref:3581574)

In between that mess of orange both Audi and Porsche have swapped their cars around. My FRC picks weep but it's absolutely the right call.

Audis and Porsches swapped places it seems

TF110 · 11 Oct 2015, 08:01 (Ref:3581578)

To be fair to Yac-attack, Bradley was weaving lanes directly in front of him.

TzeiTzei · 11 Oct 2015, 08:03 (Ref:3581580)

Dempsey won?

Irrelevant. Even if the person in front is weaving, you do NOT push them off the road at that kind of speed.

And btw, is this the first time that the CLM finished in front of all P2 cars?

naca · 11 Oct 2015, 08:05 (Ref:3581585)

Completely bradley's fault there, was weaving infront of Yucatan.

The only way you can guarantee to not hit someone if they're weaving (I'm not sure I'd need another replay) is by not trying to pass them, which is not an especially viable option.

**PascaLM** · 11 Oct 2015, 08:07 (Ref:3581589)

Today‘s reliability of cars (both LMP and GT) is awesome.

rich07 · 11 Oct 2015, 08:08 (Ref:3581590)

Dammit the stream froze up for me just before the Yacaman Bradley incident

Great to see Webbers car win even with the swap on the last laps, Porsche must win above all else, that is just how it is, if the roles were reversed it wouldnt end any other way.

Fantastic to see Gimmi and Vilander win GT PRO. Forza forza forza!!!!!!

Whoa buddy, Im not defending him. But its not irrelevant at all when you enter a braking zone and the car directly in front of you blocks by weaving. He could have braked earlier, but theres an argument for him to say he wasnt at fault. Thats all.

ederss7 · 11 Oct 2015, 08:09 (Ref:3581595)

Hadn't both cars collided before in a very similar way? When the Oreca touched behind one of the Gdrives?

carbsmith · 11 Oct 2015, 08:13 (Ref:3581597)

Yeah looking at the front side replay in the highlights package it was just one of those one guy going one way and one going the other deals where they crossed over playing braking zone chicken.

The first spin was kind of bad though.

Not the same car (it was Rusinov in the #26) but you can argue that one as a racing incident - it was minor contact and Rusinov was darting right as soon as he realized he was going to hit the Oreca. Not really as aggressive or purposeful as Yacaman was.

tux · 11 Oct 2015, 08:17 (Ref:3581600)

G Drive have alot to answer for today imo, they had so many contacts with the KCMG car it could almost look a little "fishy". As for Yacaman, he may have made an honest error of judgement, unfortunately he has previous so he will be instantly judged.

ederss7 · 11 Oct 2015, 08:24 (Ref:3581603)

Nice race. The first half was frenetic. It could have an epic finish too.

Jam3s · 11 Oct 2015, 08:29 (Ref:3581605)

The ACO does not want KCMG to beat G-Drive in the championship though, so I doubt the penalty will be substantial in any way.

Agreed, and the entire G-Drive team should be disqualified from this Fuji race for a lack of organizational control. This is a team sport and G-Drive gave Yacaman the means to throw the championship into disrepute, regardless if it was under team directive. Maybe that would provide disincentive to teams looking at hiring known nutjobs. You win as a team, you get thrown out as a team.

That's not going to happen though. They'll get a slap on the wrist and come out ahead.

tux · 11 Oct 2015, 09:28 (Ref:3581627)

There are 6 incidents under investigation between the KCMG car and the #26 & #28 cars... Ridiculous.
