Not to take away from what is arguably one of the best displays of forceful on-the-edge driving, this was in the related videos:

This totally took me by surprise, but the SHO weighs almost 4400 lbs, while the MKZ is 'only' 3600. Even with a tune, that SHO is pretty quick in a straight line.

My bad. I should have mentioned that he has an off the shelf tune. I can't wait to see what it does once he puts on his exhaust (factory exhaust is loving tiny for a twin turbo car), CAI (factory intake pipe is roughly as bad as the Mazda 3 abortion), meth injection, and gets a real dyno tune. I wouldn't be surprised to see another 100hp.

After the Vette driver got flagged for cutting off course and jamming you in the rear end a couple times I think you wouldn't have much of it either.

Was the Corvette at fault for that initial collision? It didn't seem like the Subaru(?) was coming too wide out of that corner or anything.

Jan went to medical and was cleared as OK. There wasnt a pit lane brawl (though it looked like there was going to be for a second when the entire Corvette racing pit crew started running down pit lane after the crash). Bergmeister gave his post race victory interview and looked shook up because he knew he had done something loving stupid because of "red mist".

IMSA gave both drivers a 2 race probation for next year. If they so much as put a fender on another car there will be fines and suspensions.

Oh please, Jorg moved over on Jan while he was along side no less then twice causing him to put a wheel in the dirt during that last 7 minutes of racing. He also parked it in that last corner trying to balk Jans momentum. Unfortunately Jan couldn't see this until he was making contact with the porsche.

Jan had to try everything he could to get passed the porsche (including the ballsy pit out pass) because Bergmeister was driving so defensively. You can see how much faster the Vette is by the gap he opens up on Bergmeister after the pit out pass.

It was all in good fun and hard racing up until Bergmeister put Magnussen into the pit wall and then spun him around. Have fun trying to justify it by saying the very low speed bump caused by the porsche in the last turn is similar in any way to completely wrecking a guy at 140mph on the pit straight.

I see where you're coming from save going into the pits. If the Porsche driver is at fault for defensive driving, then why do they both have the same punishment?

Because its easier for IMSA to just put both drivers on probation for next season. If they just punished Jorg, then they would have to strip the Flying Lizards porsche of the win and hand it to the #3 Corvette.

Since IMSA doesnt want Corvette racing to run everyone out of GT2 like they did with GT1 they arent going to do that.
