So...  nobody gonna talk about Derani chopping someone's nose and ending upside down on the tire wall?

 

FTFY 

That was my thought as well.  The Ferrari didn't look like it moved.  There was still several feet of track to the left to give room.

He definitely wrecked himself, not the Ferrari's fault.

The track goes to the left where he was clipped.  He DEFINITELY did not turn right there.  I've been racing at Sebring since 91, with the old hairpin, and the old Fangio chicane.  Trust me, the Ferrari got him.

In reply to racerfink :

Watching live I thought the ferrari was clipped,replay afterwards seemed to me the ferrari continued to the left with lots of track to the right.

 Splitting hairs but I think the ferrari was primarily to blame for the contact.

My racecars always had functional headlight switches.  It started in at the Longest Day races where lights were used as signals.  I would usually flash slower cars at Road Atlanta as I cleared the ride at T8.  I can only remember one race where a slower car kept coming across my nose at certain corners and I started aggressively flashing my lights.  He ran out of talent coming off T5.  You would have to ask him if flashing lights distracted him.
