Default Racing passes which give you chills

I'm a big Audi and McNish fan. When he had the massive crash in 2011 at Le Mans I was gutted. But when he passed the Toyota at the same spot in the opening lap at Le Mans in 2012 a complete chill went down my spine. It was like McNish gave a big middle finger to any fears he might have had from the previous year.

The fact that he did not finish in 2012 didn't matter to me. This pass showed *****.

"The Pass" at 16:05

The 24 hours of LeMans has to be the greatest race in Motorsports.

I may be bending the rules a bit since there were multiple passes, but one of my favorite battles...

Rossi v Lorenzo, Catalunya, final corner pass.



Webber v Alonso, Spa, outside of Eu Rouge, start at 10 seconds in.

Hakkinen passing Schumi at Spa by "splitting" Zonta IMO is be the best pass in history of motorsport. At least during the time I've watched racing.

I remember watching it live on TV, the pass on pit out was incredible.

So much to learn from that video about defensive driving. The Corvette was so much faster than the Porsche, I would have probably given up the fight in the first minute if I was driving the Porsche.

What was the official verdict on the final crash? Did Bergmeister's victory stick?
