The Ford GT is raced by the Robertson Racing Team, not by Ford like the two corvettes .
I also forgot about the Dodge Viper that is ran by the Primetime Race Group Team.

Out of everyone on every forum I've seen while researching this after just watching it DVR'ed (cuz I work nights), a majority of people for jorg are euopean. They all keep bringing up Melo from last year's Sebring race.
The corvette was obviously the faster car as Jan spun out AHEAD of the porsche. Jan was squeezed into the wall so hard that the only logical course of action is to steer away from the wall and back towards the porsche. The porsche just rode his fender until the spin was initiated and past the point of no return.
The difference with Melo/Berg from last year is that Melo didn't put him into the wall. It was just rubbing. Had Jorg actually done the exact same thing as Melo did in 2007, Jan would have taken it.
My point being is that the rubbing and bumping was perfectly fine, but squeezing Magnusson into the wall THAT MUCH was A) crossing a line and was either done intentionally to make him spin, or B) Jorg wasn't smart enough to realize what was going to happen.
Being the Jorg is a professional, one can only hope that he has the intelligence to know that putting someone into the wall that hard
and keeping them there would result in a catastrophic spin.
All I have to say is that this goes unpenalized, I wouldn't be suprised to see ALMS turn into nascar and having several more incidents like this where people might get hurt. The potential for an injury skyrockets if there's one or more of these incidents every race and that's what seems will eventually happen.
