That S2k's engine note, steering wheel, driver helmet, and gloves sound and look strikingly similar to the Italian guy who drives his S2k on the Nurburgring and on track with the Ferraris.

The Porsche was def. not in control. If you hear closely you can hear his tires screeching before he hit the S.

I think the S2000 did nothing wrong. The only thing I can think of is that he was defending the inside line because he saw the faster Porche coming up. Right or wrong decision, up to the driver, normally, I wouldn't block the line like that.

Either way, Porsche passed beautifully from the outside, except he was going too fast and went too wide for the next turn, thus putting left wheels into the dirt.

When he tried to come out, he spun and hit the s2000.

....Assuming it was a race.

If not, I think the S2000 should have stayed on his correct line and let the Porsche go by on the right (inside line).

Hmm.. yea, the S should have waited to pass. It is the responsibility of the car passing to do it safely. Though... that Porsche shouldn't have passed in braking like that either.

Porsche's totally at fault.

From what i saw, if the Porsche had control, he should have finished the turn and gone straight, not to the right towards the S.

I really doubt it was a race day. For one, the S has a passenger, and look at the cars passing after the accident. A very stock looking older 911 and a Renault? Looks far from a race day to me, more like an open track/lapping day. Huge difference between the two.
