Endurance racing is boring





to watch, usually yes. But check out the last lap of this year's 12 hour of Sebring. The back story is that the Mika Salo and Jaime Melo in the Risi Competizione-Ferrari 430 GT had been dominating the GT2 race but had an issue in the pits which forced them to double stint their tires at the very end of the race. As the Flying Lizard Porsche GT3 RS of Jorg Bergmeister was reeling him in, Melo was doing everything possible to keep the Ferrari on the pavement and block the Porsche. If you haven't seen it I don't want to spoil it but how the winner pulled off that move on the last corner remains a mystery.
