This afternoon while eating lunch & watching Astro Star Sports channel, they were showing some Integra cup (I only see Integra), seems they are racing two on two, nothing special, I think most drivers are Malaysians but the track is in Thailand.
They were showing 2 Integra, the Yellow car was behind and did a nice cut from the outside in 1 of the last few corners and seems to be winning the race, but suddenly on the last S turn the Blue Integra went outside of the track on the grass and cut straight into the 2nd of the S turn like what many people do in Gran Turismo forcing the Yellow car to run half side out of the track, the Blue car overtook the Yellow and went on the finishing line.
I am curious I though it's illegal to run outside of the track unless the car lost control. It's very obvious the guy wanted to win so badly he just took the shortcut & risk colliding with his opponent, and I don't think he got penalised for doing so.
So I'm wondering, is this allowed? What kinda race is this and what kinda rules did our Malaysian organizers laid out? I felt kinda disgraced with this Malaysian Blue car Chinese driver even though he won. Such a bad example & worst thing is it's shown on TV.
