My closest call was with a mustang, T1 at VIR he came in too hot and almost smashed into the back of my car. Luckily he decided to turn left and went into the grass and crashed by himself in the wall. I think his original claim was that I slowed down too much which is ridiculous but I think in the end he accepted it was his fault. I was roughly 5-7 seconds faster per lap than he was and he was running slicks on his car. Not to mention if I look at my video footage my speed for turn in for T1 was the same on my fast lap as it was on that particular lap he always ran into me. Wish I had a better video of the near miss but the camera doesnt really cactch it since it's facing forward. He must have missed my car by less than 1 foot. I suppose it's possible he takes a different line into turn 1, maybe wider with a late apex. But I think the was caught offguard by the closing speeds w/ hard braking from 140 MPH down to 50's.
I am honestly incredibly scared of mustangs, I think every single trackday I've been to a mustang has crashed or flipped, it's pretty crazy.

Wow! Close one. You didn't do a single thing wrong there. He just went in hot.
