Maybe things have changed in recent years.

It is more the mechanics that are real douchbags to the fans. Yelling and pushing fans out the way in the pits. I have been to quite a few Petit Le Mans and Sebring races and I have seen this behavior on more than one occasion. The old drivers like Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell were cool, but Jan Magnussen? Not the style of driver I like to root for. It only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch for me and team corvette did that back at Petit in 2006.
