I'm struggling to see what all the controversy is about. When they were entering the first turn, I immediately said to my wife "Helio's blocking the low line, that's not legal".
All you have to do is look at the first 5 seconds of the video posted above. Notice the ENTIRE field swings out to the right (across the center arrows of the runway) except Helio and Will. Finally Will swung out too. Helio is the only car who stayed low. I don't know how it could be any clearer?
Every drivers meeting this is covered, as was stated, so Helio knew exactly what he was doing. I think he figured since he almost always gets away with it, maybe he would this time too?
Just my humble opinion.
David.
