Were you letting the E46 by? He should have sent it earlier on your left side when there was a gap or position his car to your right rear to block the E36. I think positioning his car on your right rear would have been the safest option while keeping the E36 behind.
As far as i know The driver in the E46 was given 13month ban. I was in E36, thought I could squeeze through but decided to bail into grass when i saw the contact.
I drove quite a few track events at Road Atlanta and I never saw anyone that reckless! We had rules about passing...did that not exist at this VIR event?
Hey Benz Cosworth, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
In forza people treat track days like they're winning a Nobel prize and many straight-up just ram anyone in front or pull this type stunt. Makes you wonder if these people learned racing from simcades.
Looked like multiple classes racing at the same time. Quite common at club level as their aren’t enough cars in each class to have just one class race. The e46 should have read the situation better and waited 2 more corners and passed on the start/finish straight
Bonehead move of the year, and it's only May.
Unbelievable, though, it did happen, just unbelievable that someone would be that reckless with their life and lives of others
What sanctioning body and class was this?
Ouch glad you survived that

If he's gonna use that BMW as a bulldozer he should at least put a blade on it
It’s a club race wtf were those two guys thinking? It’s not that serious.
Bummer dude, you handled things well on your end though

What was the ruling by the officials?

@AutoSportFab your move was nice, good to see you managed to keep it away from everyone.
Hopefully, they determined his driving IQ matched his model number and banned him.

Looks like it's an actual race not a hpde. Passing rules will be different. But that is reckless no matter where you are.
that was a bit silly from the driver behind you. a little patience would have served everyone better.
Don't hit what you can see....

The lower third said club race.

Why are the camera car and the two cars in front driving so annoyingly slow?
How fast are they going?

What is it about BMW drivers? In so many videos they are either blocking or driving out of control. BMW...The Ultimate Wanker Machine.
Surprisingly this happens in all forms, so you shouldn't worry.
