What part of this is misleading or inaccurate? |
I dunno, maybe the YELLOW FLAG pass!!! Certainly Tony is a VERY fast driver (I am NOT) but the race was shortened one lap and the entrants were not told. The GT driver thought he had another lap. Could he have caught and passed Tony? I don't know, perhaps not.
All I am saying is this must be viewed in context. It was NOT as demonstration of one brands superiority over any other brand. It was an extra race with no points that many competitors chose not to enter thus saving wear and tear, tires etc. Did the BDR pass Mr. Olthoff at speed? (Note: Only this last question is meant to be "wise-ass", there is no hard feelings with me and as I offered in a previous thread, I would be pleased to buy you a drink at Carlisle)
