Less than two minutes into the final at the NEO Race a couple of weeks ago, early leader Ryan Maifield and eventual winner Davide Ongaro collided coming onto the straightaway. Here's a quick clip of the replay that infoRC.net posted to their Facebook page:

There's a lot at play in this brief instant. On one hand, Maifield was the leader - and generally, the car in pursuit is expected to wait until the pass can be completed cleanly. On the other side, though, Ongaro clearly had the inside line - and Maifield tried to maintain his position by powering around the outside. What do you think?

Who was at fault in this crash at the NEO Race?

Davide Ongaro - he should have waited for a better opportunity

Ryan Maifield - he should have conceded the position from the outside

Both drivers made a judgement error - but Maifield paid the price

Neither - it was simply a racing accident
