Agreed, they didn't see each other, visibility in the closed prototypes is poor!!! Great veiw, thanks for posting

McNish didn't saw the Ferrari, the Ferrari didn't saw McNish, very simple, racing incident

Read my 1. post, first, thanks!!

So this was a racing accident, there is no one to blame.

The the douchebag, will say: McNish was stupid to overtake like that in that place of the track!!!

Well if you just have watched some of the race or previous Le Mans, you will know, that it's very normal for LMP's to overtake GT's, just like McNish tried to do.

Just saying...

[078emil]

Too all those who says that McNish was stupid to take that overtake, hasn't seen any video clearly enough. McNish was behind Audi #1, and #1 was clearly driving slower than McNish, McNish couldn't see why, so he took the inside line. (at this time the Audi #1 was in the lead and McNish was second). When McNish got past #1 he was suddenly hit and the he crashed.The Ferrari right front wheel, hit McNish left back wheel. So theoretically McNish was past him. But neither one of them saw the other.

was this fatal?

[TheEljay]

@IStabChavs No. McNish survived with a few bruises and scratches, just showing how safe the Le Mans cars are, even when smashing into a wall at >130mph.

[FormulaKimball]

@IStabChavs watch to the end - you can see McNish climb out, more or less unhurt. Not sure whether to say "lucky the Audi is a closed cockpit now" or "maybe the lower visibility is leading to ambitious moves like the one preceeding this"...

[22kaka22gerrard]

@bonsema1 he never saw the Ferrari, the Ferrari never saw him!!! He went passed his team mate who was going slower and they touched. Racing incident. Visibility in those audi's is terrible, not much better in the peugout

[bonsema1]

silly ass scottie....the overtake wasn´t there, he was dreaming.

[Testafyer2]
