Looks like mostly cosmetic damage atleast! This kind of stuff will happen when tracking a car. Good luck getting it fixed and getting back on the track!

I'm sorry to hear that man. I thought you aren't allowed to "brake check" someone. Aren't there certain consequences for things like that? I hope you get everything fixed though man and hopefully next time everything will be okay.

Man that sucks, should of just hit him. front end is messed up but it wont be to bad to fix but that quater will suck. Im a body man and that looks like no fun. Are you going to be able to claim it under insurance or will they not cover it because you were racing it?

Insurance doesn't cover your car if you take it to the track. I know people who got their cars towed miles from the race track and then claim they lost control. That's the only way to claim it under insurance.

pretty quick, but it wasnt that bad, the front left a-arm is cooked and the tie rod the back quarter is the worst, and the guy in the porsche didnt get in trouble because he said didnt break check me he was just slowing down earlier because of the rain...my ***

Oh, man! Sorry to hear. It could've been worse though. Were you able to drive it home fine?

Were you actually racing or were you participating in a DE?

Is the car your daily driver?

I'm really sorry to hear this, I honestly don't know what I would have done. I know it's immature and all to get violent and probably kicked out of future events, but that guy is getting away scott-f'ing-free.

Was it an actual race or a trackday? I find it hard to believe that someone would give another driver a "brake check" during a damn trackday. If it was really an unnecessary thing that was done, with him possibly being too proud to give you a point-by and try to get you off his ***, it's seriously F'd up.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happened during a DE. The things some people do so they don't have to let someone who is faster that is behind them pass still amazes me!
