24 Heures du Mans | 18:58:00
The leading Toyota TS030 had caught up to the race-leading Audi R18 e-tron Quattro, & the two cars were trading the lead back & forth, when there was a massive shunt on the Mulsanne straight. A Ferrari 458 Italia G.T.E. Am made an inexcusable move & collided with a Toyota TS030. The force of the impact was such that the Toyota went airborne, flipped over, & then slammed into the tire barrier; the Ferrari, too, left its wheels & slammed into the tire barrier before settling onto its roof. The shunt was completely avoidable, complete unnecessary, & entirely the fault of the murderous song of a bitch driving the Ferrari. The shunt was eerily, infuriatingly similar to incident last year in which a Ferrari G.T.E. Am car punted the Audi R18 of Mike "Rocky" Rockenfeller into the trees, shredding the car & damn-near killing Rocky. The race is now under a full-course caution & likely will be for some time as the crash barriers will need to be repaired every after the cars are cleared off the track.

This is patently unfair, but I care not: I hate every son of the bitch who races a Ferrari G.T.!

The dark bastard cannot help but mention that the driver of the Toyota, Anthony Davidson, used to drive for Peugeot, & in the 2010 24 Heures du Mans Davidson, behind the wheel of his Peugeot, crashed the class-leading Corvette out of the race; afterward, even when given the chance to reflect upon his culpability, Davidson was unapologetic: Wayback Machine. The dark bastard is less upset about the crash than am I, not because he disagrees that the fiendish Ferrari pilot should be shot in the back of the head & his corpse left out in the open as carrion, but because he'd remind Mr. Davidson that what goes around comes around.
