That was almost as good as the FF Runoffs race this year. It looks like the Corvette was the faster car (barely) but couldn't get the pass in. I'd love to know what the officials said in the end. The Corvette could claim to be just racing (claim). The Porsche was clearly not just racing in the end.

The FF race had a similar outcome,

The two leaders fought a great and clean race right up to the VERY end.

you're thinking of melo and bergmeister at the end of sebring 07(i think), quite possibly the best battle i've ever seen

it was an awesome battle, but when bergmeister pushed him towards the wall, that was foul

That was some of the most intense racing I've seen in a long time. This is why we love the sport.

Totally amazing finish.

I too am very curious to see how the officials will rule on Bergmeister's move at the end. It really seemed like he went out of his way to block.

I agree. It was great racing up to that point. I don't know if I agreed with the "shortcut" call.
