I quote PIT maneuver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The PIT maneuver was adapted from the bump and run technique used in stock car racing, where drivers would bump a competitor to take them out, giving rise to the term, "takeout". This maneuver is illegal in stock car racing because it is very dangerous.
The Porsche is somewhat immune because the the weight is biased to the rear and the maneuver 'pits' the heavy end of one car against the light end of the other.
