'Rubbing is racing'

Driving into the side of someone and pushing them off the track is not.

Just read through some of the comments on the youtube video, the author is replying to all the comments that are "smack the fucker in the face" or similar ilk but completely choosing not to reply to anyone pointing out that it wasn't done on purpose or the clio was equally as dirty on some of the previous bends,

Deffo sour grapes

Looks to me as though the Clio driver was looking for a gap in the wrong place.

He definitely shares culpability as he started pushing the Porsche and seemed to unsettle it.

Probably a case of, he pushed and then got pushed back.

Six of one and half a dozen of the other, to my mind.

It would be interesting to see more angles though.

Hardly looks deliberate to me. An error in judgement from the Porsche driver, but not forcing him off the track. Just closed the door too late.

It does appear that the Clio driver taps the Porsche's rear quarter panel on entry to the corner (1:37 on the video) and Porsche driver attempted to 'close the gap' in response but completely misjudged it.
I think the whole situation could have been easily avoided though - Porsche driver having better awareness of the Clio's position and leaving space, and the Clio driver backing out when the gap was closing rather than keeping his foot in as well as him not 'running out of talent' and tapping cars - something he heavily criticises in the video.

The whole series looks very amateurish with everyone hitting each other though :lol:

Not going to side with the porsche driver as he was obviously to blame. But I don't think he rammed him off the track on purpose. I think he moved over to position for the next bend and completely misjudged the postion of the clio. As soon as the back end was clipped that would naturally turn the car towards the barrier hence why it looked like he was continuing to push him over. Then as soon as the clio was no longer touching his car he could swerve off it.

I think in that instance the clio went for a gap the porsche closed

He moves to block him off intentionally pushing him off, could have been fatal if it wasn't for safety gear. If he held his position he'd have had the line into the next corner anyway. Guy should be banned from ever racing again

Id love to watch the words spoken afterwards

Porsche driver found at fault, 6 points on his race license and a 1 race ban.

Yeah it's all a bit manic for a group of lads only there for a laugh.

Still, no need for that.

Hans device. Once again proving just how invaluable they are. He'd surely be dead or severly injured without it.

Clio held up surprisingly well. I know it's buggered, but I thought the damage would be much much worse.

Looks like they've played too much need for speed and don't actually have a clue how to drive.

the clio clips him first. then the porsche tries to position himself on the right to take the next bend

im supporting the porsche driver here

As above! Clip from a seperate lap top where the car tries to pass the same porsche on both sides and he's swerving to block. Basically the same happened on the crash, but the car was alredy half way past. What a cunt. As said. Helmet to the face would have served him right!

Hardly mis judged it didn't stop pushing the clip towards the wall untill the last min then swerved back onto the track to avoid crashing himself, total bellend I would have put my helmet through his face in the pit lane total cunt behaviour could have Killed someone

Seen that other day, defiantly forced him off. About 70 to stop in half a second. Ouch.

Nah he totally forced him off

Rammed is a strong word from the footage. He tried to spook him and close the door and obviously misjudged his actual position.

Worth watching the whole video imo... awful behaviour!
