ALMS: Flying Lizard and Corvette Racing’s GT2 play-by-play action from Laguna Seca 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

We’ve tried to break down the last 15sec of the race with a non-biased view. We feel it came down to hard racing, no one wanting to give it up and an unfortunate ending. There have been penalties given out. *We are not professional drivers but we do play one on twitter. Next up, we have some special guest chime in with their thoughts, so look for that later on.

1:58 – #3 tries to go around outside at turn 1 and clearly bumps #45 comping out to unsettle Joerg.
2:00 – Joerg clearly on racing line. Mags losens and drops wheels.
2:45 – At the corkscrew, commentator guarantees a “placing a fender on him”
2:59 – Second to last corner, Joerg with 1-2 car gap. Commentators say Jan is “to far back” and “dive-bomb”
3:05 – Mags bumps Joerg and unsettles the Porsche, again. Berg loses it a bit but gathers. Mags said he “parked” but there is no sign of braking or nose diving.
3:08 – Berg has a car to 1/2 car on him until about 3:10 they might be even and Berg pulls away to the right.
3:09 – 3:12 they slowly come together, with no deliberate turning into each other.
3:12 – This is the big “come together” yet they both seem to be equal in terms of lead.
3:12 – Joerg is moving to the right, its hard to see Mags, but he is obviously going right as well. This is where the spin sets up.
3:13 – Joerg brakes (watch lights) and Jan spins out.
3:14 – Mags hits wall, yet both look to be equal as the line is right there. Jan finishes 1 sec behind Joerg.
