Quote from Pablo Donoso :

Yeah it's a tactic that came out of Nascar, which has always been a contraversial one. Nascar has lots of backwards rules, they make the cars adhere to strict limitations, but allow the cars to touch and crash each other as their motto goes "rubbing is racing".

That's more of a motto for BTCC now these days as I think the modern NASCAR is too strict on contact. Remember Tony Stewart's penalty when he swearved into Clint Bowyer? Ya...excuse me NASCAR but NO ONE TAKES OUT SOMEONE by side swiping them like that. :rolleyes: But regarding BTCC, you have Jason Plato's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqNtQsIa2Nw. And he even used the "rubbin' racing" as a justification for his horrid conduct...I mean wtf...seriously

Touching is just a part of closed wheel racing, stock car, touring car, etc. Only exception to that would probably be Le Mans but I have seen prototypes bash into each other before without any consequences and let's not forget about Jamie Melo bashing his Ferrarri into Jorg Bergmeister's Flying Lizard Porsche to take the 12H Sebring win. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjWo8VdMb8I) Dirty? Maybe by open wheel standards...But just the nature of closed wheel racing.

Quote from Pablo Donoso :

bump drafting is just one of those things you see others do, shake your head, then think to yourself "damn cheaters". lol

Hardly...when I see bump drafting I think "damm, too bad I dont have a teammate that's good enough to bumpdraft without spinning me out or messing up his line". Again, contact is just a part of closed wheel racing no matter what you open wheel pansies say

Quote from Jonesy_ :

You might want to try something else than just oval racing, like turning to right for a change. and no, not talking about oval reversed.

And even if was only the oval that rows your boat, they really, like really do it in real life too. So why not in lfs?

Right? What is this right you speak of?

Here is a better video IMO, it actually shows the other drivers' reactions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANQpPslrsQ8

Quote from BlueFlame :

No, I disagree, It looks like it's a strange way the car hit the wall, anything else would of bounced back into the racetrack rather than split in two.

It didn't bounce back because Pardo's car was almost parallel when he hit that wall. Plus it looks like that wall was almost perpendicular to the track which is never good to see especially on an oval.

I blame the wall, I have no idea why that wall was there like that
