Video: Mazda MX5 racer pulls one of the cheekiest racing moves we’ve ever seen…

We’ll have to check the rulebook on this one…

The 5Club MX5 Cup recently held an event at Silverstone over in the UK and the race featured one of the strangest racing moves we’ve ever seen.

After making his way from 5th to 3rd, the driver of the camera car (James Rogers #69) pulls up along side the #4 car on a long straight, only to witness the #4 driver leaning over and pushing in his wing mirror.

While we’re sure it was just a bit of banter among mates (or else a case of seriously petty rivalry) we have to point out that pushing in your competitor’s wing mirror while racing is actually pretty dangerous, even if it’s ‘just a joke’ as it can seriously restrict the driver’s view of what’s around them.

Having said that, we can’t stop laughing at this .GIF.
