I hope this isn't the big FIA collaboration we've all been waiting to see. :lol:

Jerome d'Ambrosio couldn't be bothered with racing around in 6th so he hatched a cunning plan (this is genius), just cut the chicane to pass 3 other cars and hope nobody sees it (The spectators are all on the other side of the stadium after-all).

(At around 3:30)

Amazingly his plan worked and the stewards gave him the race win! Genius!

And that is why you place bumps/walls/any other kind of obstacle goes here in city tracks' chicanes, track designers. Just leaving one giant piece of tarmac, which can be exploited as a shortcut by racing drivers, makes it irrelevant as a corner or chicane. And blind stewards just add the icing on one big cheating cake. Unbeliveable display of double stupidity, not exactly Formula E's best moment...

GTPorsche · Mar 14, 2016

This was triggered by Helio Castroneves attempting a divebomb and causing everyone in his vicinity to hit the brakes in response, and Carlos Munoz not paying attention to it happening.

TheBook · Mar 14, 2016

I love how Rahal has his hands in the air like "WTF" before he's even done being crashed into.

GTPorsche · Mar 14, 2016

What happens when you put 27 inexperienced drivers together for a rolling start to kick off the USF2000 season? These happen...

And Corey Fergus yesterday at the start of the PWC race.

So wait, he actually got away with that!?

Apparently he did, wonderfully enough. And the best part? He won the race after original winner Lucas Di Grassi was disqualified for having a car below minimum the weight limit!

Well that was far from being smart, trying to overtake two cars from the inside without realizing that your racing line would eventually cross paths with a Corvette's... This is why sandwich-style overtakes can be quite dangerous. Instead of gaining two positions, all the Porsche managed to do was write itself and the C7 off.

I saw it differently, the Corvette came across into a space the Porsche was already in.

GTPorsche · Mar 19, 2016

The Porsche was also well off the normal approach for turn 1 and on a wet surface with slicks.

Blame doesn't go to just one of them. It's a racing incident in my eyes.
