Ok, so this picture is cool and everything, but looking at it still makes me pissed. Because seconds—literally, seconds!—before the number 46 Porsche spun, I had been in the exact same spot shooting video. And while I still think the clips I got of cars ripping through this turn are pretty cool—this one shows the GT2 Porsches and Ferraris really going at it—it’s obvious that getting footage of the near-miss would have been way cooler. But hey, what can you do? From what I could tell, the Porsche stopped just shy of the wall, then peeled out and headed back onto the track, where it was nearly rear-ended by the number 62 Ferrari. Check out a few more pics of this incident after the jump. Oh, and am I the only one who thinks it’s funny this whole situation went down directly in front of a bunch of Porsche banners?
