Am I the only person who misses the SPEED channel?
same!
I do miss SPEED as well
Speed was the epitome of a racing dedicated channel that always had some form of motorsports programming on. Even if it was showcasing lesser viewed series like Lucas oil On The Edge, it was the best racing channel we ever had.
no I miss it dearly
Was my go to show. Now I'm empty inside :)
Jan magnussen said in a Danish interview. "I told my family, if I'm killed in this sport, and no matter how. I want you to know that I died with a smile on my face as a happy man. Don't feel sorry for me".
The drivers with the ultra bright lights trying to blind the other drivers…that’s a serious bitch move.
I was there, sitting right in front of the crash. I've attended many races in my life. But this finish, I'll never forget.
Vette saw nothing but res mist for the last few laps... and his driving showed that.
I run the PA and corner worker land line at Laguna Seca. My office looks right down on the start finish line. I took some video of the finish and fireworks, somehow unaware of the the one more lap for the Porsche and Corvette. I actually had the video camera packed away before I realized the last lap dog fight! What a scene when Magnussen crashed. Like a plane crash. He actually crossed the finish line while knocked out from the impact.
Wow 😳
Why would the Porsche driver have to drive another lap because of the Chevy acting like a hillbilly?
I was so invested in the ALMS. Went to Petit for years. I am and was a huge Patrick Long and Jorg Bergmeister fan. They had a race ruined by a Ferrari at Sebring, so NO way they weren't keeping their elbows out for this win. What an ending to a season.
Do you remember the race when a bee got into the flying lizard car with Bergmeister driving?
Bergmeister was first to do the move you see on r/simracingstewards all the time. Smh. Big Corvette fan here, this finish made me super conflicted though. Glad Jan was still racing after that, massive hit into the wall. I still wish NASCAR could race here, it would be insane.
Porsche double stinted the tires, corvette had fresher tires. They were faster, but couldn't get around that fat ass of the 911 without what you see.
Thanks for posting this. I remember watching this when it was on years ago and was hooked.
The Corvette headlights are kinda blinding, right?
I watched this race live and I will never forget that wreck at the end!
Damn Porsche driver!
Verstappen learned if you’re going to try and take someone out, make sure you take them all the way out.
Remember watching that live. One of the best finishes of all times and all leagues.
I wouldn't call that a finish, unless you look at it as a demolition derby, in which case yes the Porsche won by finishing the Corvette into the wall.
I crossed the finish line at Donington Park, sliding backwards on the grass and took 3rd recently. Very satisfying! I'll take any podium that comes my way!
I was at this race on the hill.... in the dark, and my wife and I were jumping up and down when Joerg won....... what a finish. Flying Lizard with PL and JB was the best......
You know why this time period was great? Because there were actually drivers who got the seat for being the best, not paying the most.
That flying lizard livery is rad!
Looked like the porsche braked mid turn which caused the corvette to bump
Best one so far! I wish I had been in to sports car racing back then first time seeing this finish
thanks! Glad you enjoy!
Apart from the lingo, I never really noticed the difference in Indy/sports car spotters until yall made that comment.
This was an epic few laps!!!! Love it!!!
I was there, standing at the last turn before the straight. It was unbelievable.
This makes me wish that Laguna Seca could allow night racing again. Either IMSA only for that or install a lighting system.
It's not that. It's the fact that the already bitchy highway 68 coalition will complain about noise pollution in the after hours.
The highway 68 coalition is a single prick that lives nearby
They should bring back the 4 & 6 hr races at Laguna Seca
Some of the whiny, bitchy neighbors are pushing hard to get the track shut down permanently.
@@mkay1957 They finally made a decision.
Money lap. What is this channel highlighting road racing? Love it!
Foul or not they should have never told Magnusson to cede the position to the Porsche, he was way faster and there is no way to pass other than turn 1. He passed the Porsche and within 1 lap put on 8 car lengths. So the officials caused that crash.
Great camera work!
Your next reaction should be the 2007 12 hours of sebring finish. Ironically Burmeister is involved in that epic finish also.
will do! Thanks for the suggestion!
@@moneylap yep. this incident will make sense after you watch it.
You can’t smash a guy into a wall on purpose and not get disqualified! Absolutely hogwash he should be suspended for dangerous behavior like that
If you watch closely. And slow the footage down… you can see the Porsche back off. And the corvette moved back to the right just a little too soon and he clipped the left front of the Porsche. The corvette … gave him self his own pit maneuver!!$🙄
The corvette was driving like an ashole the whole race, serves him right.
Not what I saw. That porsche just pressed that corvette against the wall on purpose. He did Not turn his wheel to the right at all. He turned left hard to keep the corvette from passing. He needs to be disqualified, fined, & kept from racing. This is not a demolish derby. And..its not the first time I've seen this from porsche teams. They get away with it all the time. They cry if they loose. Oh the faster car has to add 100 lbs..& then they somehow get thier way. To me all they are, is dangerous traffic. They should stick with club racing if they can't take the heat. Spoiled little crybabies.
@@dennistowerofpower5808 It's hilarious how I can tell your political affiliation just by this insanely stupid take.
@@dennistowerofpower5808that's not how physics work
great example of front engine versus rear engine
I was at this race and it was epic. The R15 Audi LMP was supposed to be there but didn’t show up.
Correction: IMSA was formed in 1969, The Weather Tech series was formed by the merger in 2014 of ALMS and Grand Am.
An idea for a reaction could be the 4 wide finish from the Indy Lights at Indianapolis back in 2013 (2014?) I believe? Love the channel!
Incredible race to the finish.
I have the same exact thing happen to me in Forza Motorsport in the GT Series. Pisses me off like no other.
Yeah not even remotely the same...
The Vette was faster because the Porsche was on an older and reused set of tyres, while the Vette got new ones for the final stint.
Doesn’t give you the right to shoot into other cars all race long though, there were multiple contacts from the drivers of the Vette in that race, which in the end didn’t help their protest of unfair driving having escorted other cars off the track before.
Still crazy how good the racing was in 2006/2007/2008 and how dull it is now in GT3
Took care of those blinding head and fog lights
I remember watching this way back... Vette bumping the back of the 911. Never really sure if that was accident.
The driver and the Porsche should have been sanctioned for that.A bump and run is one thing.A pit maneuver is another
This guy is an assassin!
Wild this race is still talked about
I understand the fact that the Porsche driver just couldn't let victory slip on the very last stretch but he should have got a penalty or something for how he maneuvered.
I remember watching the entire race.. it was such an extreme battle the end was tragic and emotional. The other crazy race that was nuts was Sebring 2007 between Flying Lizard once again Bergmeister and the Risi Ferrari with Miller doing some rubbing running the Porsche wide... it was epic. I do miss a dedicated Racing channel. I think if someone coordinated enough, you could manage Imsa, WEC, Asia series, Moto GP, Superbike, Rally Racing, and other epic motor vehicle goodness.
I really feel for Jan, but Jorg really wanted it super bad.
I’ve been looking for this video a long time. Thanks for posting it.
Watch that final clip in slow motion…you can see Magnussen getting squeezed to a point but then he tries to take the Vette back toward the center of the track too soon and catches the front of the Porsche. Bergmiester put on the squeeze but did not turn into the Vette once it was almost past him…you can see him holding a line and then the front of the Porsche getting nicked as the Vette moved too soon and took himself out.
Probably the same observation officials made in making their decision.
I've already tried explaining this to others, but they either don't want to listen or just don't know how to put the video on slowmo. Even in full speed you can see what unfolds.
Agree completely. 911 just defended hard, after being bumped.
insane! absolutely insane!
@buckdashe2571
Lol. That might be true. But you take into account every other time he ran him off the track, and that win shouldn’t have stood.
Absolutely ridiculous, race, you’re not a swerving road block.
Magnussen I’m sure wishes he’d have dumped his ass knowing what was going to happen.
He was being pinned against the wall. Anyone's first reaction would be to push back against the person presenting.
Enjoyed this and remember it vividly
Would love for you guys to comment on a Hooters Pro Cup Series race & tie it back to your thoughts about what classic stockcar short track racing can/should be
there was some driver on the vinwiki that did some crazy high Gs in a backflip crash that could be an interesting cover.
Should definitely do a reaction to the Sebring ALMS finish between Ferrari and Porsche I think the same year. 12 hours of racing and ended up in a photo finish
great idea!
Pay atention to headlights. Everyone is so bright except for the 911, it's different
Them boys was banging doors. Bro in the porsche squeezed too hard but the vette kpt rear ending him so Idk. Porsche should have just drove it out at some point.
Concrete barrier ... there is no substitute. Wait, that is not how it goes.
React to the Alms series Gt2 battle from Sebring 2007 that was great back then
You have a full vídeo link?
Here is the full race > th-cam.com/video/DuA79kJ0EGM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=apjwLtISVxxn87-k
Magnuson should have been suspended two races.
2024 12 hours of Sebring ACURA vs Cadillac hypercar. That got crazy the ACURA drove like physics aren't real.
Would like to see the race from Love's RV Stop 250 on October of 2012 🤘🏁
He just cost the team a ton of money too.
Jan Magnussen, Father of F1 driver Kevin Magnussen, absolutely phenomenal GT and Prototype racer. Also Jan had Kevin when he was 19, i feel like that Should be known information, Jan is 50 and Kevin is 32 and they both race. Wish they would race together in IMSA.
that would be awesome!
Weird have not one person talked about what happened at Sebring, which is why he wasn’t gonna let it happen again?
The corkscrew is great fun but the last corner is SO slow coming on to the "straight"
You think that last corner will be a great place to pass but for some reason it isnt.
The Bully got phacked up🤘
The Porsche was the one racing dirt, I don't understand how this is hard see.
@@lukesworkout2232 if you keep poking the bear it’s going to bite. The corvette was aggressive and if he was faster he would have passed him no excuses.
@@lukesworkout2232it’s a lot harder to stay ahead than playing grab ass
@@ralphsmallblock4367 but he did pass him... the porsche did a pit maneuver put ur glasses on and look again. nobody cares about what happened in previous corners the porsche was slow as are all porsches on the streight and the vette was passing him so he pitted him...
@@hairlessvulture9501on the contrary the vette got phacked up especially close to the end. American cars lack the girth. Pushing and shoving at speed. That’s why the cheapest 911 is and the most expensive corvette are similar priced similar.
Wow that was crazy
Bumping bumpers is racing but that is not. After recovery I would seek some street justice. 5 minutes and deal back the pain.
Vette was 10 x as fast lol 😂

I remember this race.
Lol that vette was eating that thang for dinner and lunch
Can anyone wiegh in, why was #45 allowed to push the Corvette into the wall like that? I remember seeing this years ago and I've always wondered why that was allowed.
Maybe it was because the Corvette attempted a pit maneuver a la the California Highway Patrol.
Well, the Porsche #45 was involved in a similar situation a while back before this race. It was at Sebring (2007?) versus the Ferrari #62 and on the last lap right before the finish the Ferrari pushed the Porsche nearly into the wall and it was deemed a racing incident despite the Ferrari bumping then rubbing the side of the Porsche while racing to the finish.
Watch the Sebring race if you can and you will see why #45 was justified in protecting his position.
@@Americathebeautiful49 The Corvette was trying to go by, getting by the constant blocking by the Porsche after the Corvette went by the Porsche executed a Pitt maneuver perfectly. That year Porsche was allowed to alter the architecture of the 911 effectively making it a mid-engine sports car. Everyone else is running a car that has the architecture of showroom vehicles except the Porsche which is running a purpose build architecture with a 911 shell on top.
Insane!
Sonoma is a great technical track to drive but it's unforgiving if you get it wrong.
This was Laguna Seca not Sonoma.
@@Americathebeautiful49 yes. They mentioned Sonoma.
@@Scoots1994is your comment a general one about the track or about this clip? the racetrack in this clip is absolutely positively laguna seca. If you think its sonoma (formerly sears point) you dont know much about racing. (Nothing personal)
@@johnlucier5654 They were talking about Sonoma. Maybe you don't know about listening? (nothing personal)
@@Scoots1994 no they werent talking about sonoma, they were talking about the driver and he said he first saw him at sonoma. There was zero discussion of the track or anything you were talking about. Thats why we both commented. Its like "what are you talking about?"
Vette clearly had more power... but the better control of the Porche just balanced out the racing...
The best of both worlds collide!
just wondering what happened after this, but if a car was to pull along side you, are able to still block causing a crash or? the corvette driver could've taken the guy out at any corner if apparently its legal to just dump someone like that. driver that went into the wall like that is lucky to get out of the car.
You really can’t mess with an ultra light front engine rwd chassis with a nasty v8 Porsche should have been allowed to take back that position once the Vette got in front of him he started putting buses on that idiot
You guys react herbie fully loaded nascar race
That Guy in the Porsche should banned forever!
This is what Imsa should be today
Yeah, but which pit crew won the brawl afterward??
Professional grade "Grabass"!
This is a common psychosis for anyone that drives a Porsche.
Look at how dark it is🙄
I told you that in the first race about the driver of the corvette. He's not that good.
o piloto do corvette tava na maldade na última curva dando esse tótó no porsche pra ter a chance de ficar a frente.. o piloto do porsche percebeu e por isso respondeu na mesma moeda. Final justo.
Racing license should be taken away from that Porsche driver.
Yes, the Corvette hit the back of the Porsche, which should be a time penalty. But forcing another car into a wall is a behavior that does not belong in racing at all.
The Different Headlights color mean different class of car.?.?
That Porsche was wrong.
React to the 2023 Thanksgiving Classic at Southern National Motorsports Park!
will do!
Lots of partisan comments depending on if you are a Corvette fan or Porsche fan. I just like competitive racing and I disagree with your analysis that the Corvette was so much faster. Yes in some spots it was but in others it wasn’t. That’s what made the racing so exciting. If Magnussen hadn’t taken the short cut through the pit lane he would’ve had a legitimate chance to pass but in his frustration he made too many mistakes culminating in rear ending the Porsche. This is sports car racing not NASCAR. He took himself out at the end the Porsche was simply defending especially after being rear ended.
Defending? Lol he drove him straight into the wall to keep from getting passed.
He was way heavy on the brakes and that's why he was rear-ended.
Piss poor move that could have killed someone.
Rear ending someone is a piss poor move. Also taking a shortcut through pit lane is a piss poor move.
Well, he had a choice, hit the Porsche or hit the wall. He chose the wall.
The Vette WAS straight line faster, obviously not cumulatively faster. This is something that plays out with Porsches all the time. They fly through corners and lag on straights.
Also, you can see how the Vette quickly made a gap after the illegal pass.
The Porsche was in the way, and the Vette saw only red mist... the rest is history.
@@focussport Which the Porsche owes to the modification of the platform effectively making it a mid-engine vehicle. That isn't a 911 on the track, it's a one-off architecture allowed in order to keep Porsche in winning contention.
Yeah bro it would have been hard for me not to meet up with the Porsche team crossing California state line. This would have been a classic RFE moment for them. This *uck could have killed that guy to clip him when his car is clearly faster on the straight. (Regardless of previous contact) And *uck the series for not doing anything about this (at this race). It was like “don’t talk about it and hope his hospital visit goes ok so we don’t look bad” Again, this Porsche guy would have been lucky to make it to the next race if you did this to my teammate you would have been *ucked.
Chevy had it coming
Nunca te metas con un porche
Jorge B =☠️
Typical Chevy Driver. Trying to crash the leader to win but ends up messing himself up. Deserves to crash. Be glad wasn't a Ford racing. Ford would have won easier then that Porsche.
Dirty driving. The Porsche pushed the Vette off track 3 times, got bumped, then did a pit maneuver to wreck his opponent.
For a video idea, react to some IMSA crashes and give your input on who is at fault.
Who else would watch???
👇
drivers r pros
I love Porsche but it's obvious that the Corvette was faster and the Porsche kept blocking.
Frustrating to behind someone that much slower partially why he keeps going off he is having to slow down behind that loser in the Porsche
Anyone who uses the PITLANE like that clown in the vett did deserves everything he got.... if he was sooo much faster then why couldn't he pass anywhere but the first corner??? Why was he constantly ramming???..... lol.... try harder xx
Much slower because his tires were much older.
Yeah, shouldn’t have pushed him into the wall
The Corvette driver hit's the Porsche so many times and in the last corner hit's them to have better aceleration than the porshce,so he's a dirty driver😅
@@RkL9Clan portch was so much slower the corvette kept getting held up mid corner the porch car was obnoxiously slower and watching him block to the point he’s getting rammed and pushing cars behind them off track was embarrassing I thought I was watching a low iq Forza Motorsport lobby
Hey guys, it’s not a mistake. The guy ahead of him is on the racing line so he has to try to find a way around.
The porsche was too aggressive in my opinion. Thought he should've had some sort of penalty.
@@jarrodjordan5293Huh? Did we see 2 different videos? The Corvette driver bumped into him several times 😂
@@xYNPR0DUCTi0NS small bumps compared to crashing your opponent.
A bump to your ass end that gets your attention is not equal to shoving in to the wall and pit maneuvering someone. That is wholesale bs.
The fact that the Corvette hit him on purpose cause let's be serious when you're a race car driver you know d*** well when you should be breaking to not run into the car in front of you even when there's lots of money on the line so the fact that the Porsche driver said enough is enough and you're gonna try and spin me out in a corner and ran him into the wall I think he was nice about it the fact that the Corvette decided to spin out and crash into the opposite wall well that's just an unfortunate event
Is it just me or are the Corvette head lamps extremely bright? Perhaps he blinded the Porsche driver one too many times... ;)
Porsche driver was just annoyed he had a slow German car and had to resort to some despicable tactics to win.... typical when you have no talent and you're driving a slow ass porsche.
That's actually a valid tactic Corvette and other teams did at the time when night races were a thing. Basically you blind the car ahead, so you can make moves around them without them realizing you are. Plus it makes the guy ahead of you more likely to make a mistake.
@@hairlessvulture9501 the Corvette guy was in the wrong the whole time. He made all the chickenshit moves in the contact. Lol
@@TheBlueDogMan You need glasses. the 'Vett went for the pass the slow porsche started to block and the as the corvette went past the slow ass German porsche the guy driving the porsche went for the pit maneuver because he knew he was going to lose if not...
ALMS > Grand Am until like 2010-11.
