Where was Kauffman supposed to go, onto the marbles off line and put himself into the wall? He said it himself, he couldn't see where the Audi was for starters, LED's plus floodlights don't really help the cause. Rocky made a stupid decision and it cost him. If you really want to have a dig at Rob, it was a racing incident. He did nothing wrong.

It was a racing incident but Kauffman did something I hadn't seen during the race (or qualifying and practise for that matter) before. All GT cars always take the outside line when a prototype closes in on them in that kink,
all of them. If he had done the same thing nothing would have happened.

Objectively one could say that for both sides, take Gene's ridiculous blocking at last year's Le Mans as an example. Peugeot and Audi are both big competitors and both have their pleasant and unpleasant side.
