Ahh no...

Have you heard of blocking? In NZ motorsport you are allowed to change your line once to block someone which the mini did.

The person overtaking has the responsibility to find a way around - he should have got out of it when the door was closed by the mini.

Result - mini hit in the rear side/corner and wrecked :(

The Porsche was right alongside by the time the Mini began his "blocking" manouvre. I think that by the time the Porsche driver realised the Mini was going to force him right onto the grass it was too late to brake & the result would've been the same. My guess is that the Mini didn't see the Porsche otherwise he wouldn't have driven him off the track.

absolutely 100 % mini drivers fault, you cant run wide and then play stockcars to get you`re place back! or thats what happens!

Holy Shitballs! That was huge

The mini(shit box) just drove into the wall and I agree with the other poster he should be banned for life

[EVLJZ]

The guy in the mini should be banned for life. What a retard

This may be an ignorant comment but that really looks like an unsafe design of the track, could have been far worse.

mini deserved to crash but not that bad looked sore. but mini deffo fault.

[takakaira000]

what a dick, the mini should havbe given some racing room to the porsche.

[jrc1903]

The mini moved over to block him ,i guess the porsche could have lifted his foot a bit.

Good to hear, I know Bruce to be a good racer and one of the decent guys in the pits on race weekends. he's very popular with most of the guys in the Mini racing scene.

True, I only run my car in low level intermarque sprints as whilst I enjoy the racing/speed I'm happy at this level as my car is irreplaceable. So it annoyed the c**p out of me when despite the guidelines/rules of the series I had 2 idiots nearly drive me of the track last Sunday whilst engaging in their own private battle
