In the ballsiest racing pass in a long time, a Lotus Exige GT3 sliced between a Miata and a Boxster in Australia's Island Magic Enduro 2011 race, overtaking both cars at 152 miles an hour with barely inches to spare. Was this a safe pass?

The Teamchapman Mazda in Group E was working his own pass on a Group E Boxster when Bart Mawer in the Lotus flew by him. The Mazda driver says he saw Mawer coming around the last turn before the pass, hunting down a Gallardo in Class A. From the Lotus' in-car footage it looks like the driver had time to size up the pass.
