I swear the guy in the red car looked in his mirror just before cutting across. That looks deliberate.

He certainly turns his a head a little to the right just before the bump. Maybe his hands "followed" his head....or it was deliberate. That stop would have hurt.

From the way he punted the white one off first I would be assuming he is what driver called him, if not worse.

There was no need to come across like that and he could have given room without sacrificing too much speed, adn as it was an endurance race, unless it was in the last 5 laps, was a pretty low thing to do.

Crikey that was a hell of an accident!

That did not look like an accidental drift over, it was to aggressive and deliberate looking.

would say he was in a blind spot

The yanks have been talking about this, there is a high def version which shows his actions are deliberate.

Im pretty sure someone is about to break his legs.

Even if you thought nobody was next to you there is no reason to jink the car across the track like that.

If he had been watching his mirrors he would have seen two cars behind him and should have known that only 1 has attempted a pass (the first car he ran off the road) and that there would be a second car somewhere. The crash car also comes from behind him and was not hidden in his blind spot the whole time.

If he jerks the wheel that suddenly when he checks his mirrors, he should be banned from the track regardless of whether it was intentional.

Not a chance. Switch it to full HD resolution and watch in full screen. You can see his eyeport in his wing mirror. If the gopro can see his eyes, his eyes can see the gopro. 100% intentional, he should be banned from racing. Imagine what would happen if you did that to someone on the road? Jail time, surely.
