Yes, he was on the gas and practically shredding a tire
with wheel spin. I was just about to tell my wife..who hates
all forms of racing..even simulated..that the two green cars
were teammates and they had wrecked before...when Paul got
slowed by traffic I stopped and said...lookout these two will
wreck...:)

Hmmm.... From where I was it looked like the accident was more Tracy's
fault..?

"There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want"
Here's my take on what happened. See if you all agree:
-Dario gets a run on Paul.
-Ariel view shows Dario pulling his front wheels ahead of
Paul's front wing on the straight.
-Paul is defending and pushes Dario way down to the inside
of the straight (which he has a right to do).
-Dario backs off earlier than Paul because he's so far inside.
-Paul backs off later trying to retake the corner.
-Paul doesn't leave Dario more than a whisker's extra room, if that.
-Dario is *** the brakes and has his left wheels on the
white line entering.
-Dario puts his left wheels on the rumble strips and comes up
by about 1 foot as a result.
-Since Paul is leaving just a whisker's room, they touch sending
Paul into the wall and Dario spinning.
In my opinion, this accident was Paul's fault for defending too
agressively and leaving Dario no room to maneuver. Dario made
a completely legitimate move on Paul. He got his wheels ahead and
should expect a bit of professional consideration. He got little
to none and they crashed.
Just my opinions. They could be wrong. But, then again, so
could yours.

I just think that the last thing Dario wanted at that moment was have Tracy in
his face<g>.
