I hope I'm misunderstanding what happened out there. But it seems to me that, in the best case, you got a serious case of the red mist out on the track, and in the worst case, you did the kit-car equivalent of a ricer flyby and put an original GT40, as well as yourself, at considerable risk. You told the owner you would follow him around for a lap and then fade away, but instead you went wheel-to-wheel with him in a corner, dive-bombed him into the next after a long straight, and that you were ready to ball up your car to get out in front of him. This was an HPDE event, and not a race, right?

Maybe I'm misreading your post but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a pissed-off owner of an original GT40 out there.
