I spotted a Ferrari 458 getting flat-towed while I was waiting for the fireworks to start with damage that looks like it hurt. Here's how that happened.

Poor #007 seems to show up in tonight.

I seem to recall posting something about how amusingly aggressive the CORE Autosport/Porsche works…

Here's the video of the smack. Annoyingly, another spun car, the Porsche, attempted to do the same thing that the 458 tried: rejoin in front of oncoming traffic. Luckily (if you can call that painful smack lucky somehow), Davis already hit Perrodo and didn't come up on the second car at speed.
