I have the front wheels close to full reverse lock as the rear end is being pushed sideways. The Corvette, with room to the inside (driver's left) has not turned into that slot, but is rather turned toward our car and he still has the gas on. No smoke from the tires or the brakes, no effort to stop or avoid the incident. As his crew chief said, "just a simple sacrifice pop fly."

This seems as clear evidence as one can get about the intentional hit. You be the judge.
