Ah, you've just got to love how peoples perspectives of an accident are a bit skewed after the fact. Take Dean Fulfords account of the Porsche sandwich at Pukekohe on Saturday:

Mr Fulford said he remembered little of the crash, which happened after he was bumped from behind and lost control. "I didn't know what was happening - everything was all white."
Well Dean, I was there and I saw it, pal. Where's the little detail of you pulling across from the right side of the track to the left as the other protagonist (don't knw who it was, just call hime Driver 2) was sidling up to your B-pillar. I've only driven round Puke for about 30 laps on a race-driving course, but the line into Jennian is from the right, and that's where you should have stayed rather than forcing Driver 2 off the left side of the track. The fact that he hit you in the right rear (actually, you ran into him), in a similar manner to a PIT maneuver ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIT_maneuver ) and ergo over the safety barrier etc, is testament to your lack of professionalism.
Can't wait for the marshalls report :Police:
