Watching the short in car clip, looked like the Ferrari driver just wasn't paying attention. He was flashing his lights and everything as he approached, yet the 458 continued to intrude into his lane.
The big reason I don't support the Pro-Am category in the series, which I think the 458 driver was an AM.
@hashrulsubzero no two of the cars were crashed one with McNish in it and the other one with Rockenfeller in it (both in the same race) and the third car still in the race won it for them im not sure if thats means that they are out but i believe that they have replacements im not completely sure though so dont quote me on that...
I remember watching both crashes live and all I can say is WOW. It is amazing that both drivers essentially walked away from two of the most insane crashes I have seen in a very long time.
I don't know what an Audi R18 TDI costs but I would bet there is not one single usable part left from either car.
The irony is that 2011 is the first year since 1999 that Audi chose a closed cockpit design and it may have saved both drivers.
I will never forget these nuclear accidents the Audis had at Le Mans this year. I was initially convinced that both drivers had perished in those disasters. Thank goodness I was worng.
i was there this year camping on bleu sud jst woke up and got to track when this happened saftey car was out for ages and the wreck of the audi sat in the pits next to alan mcnish's was quite comical. glad there ok though. roll on next year
While watching the 24 @ Le Mans I thought to myself WELL NOW LOOK AT THIS MW made it to le mans and caused a big ass wreck -_- well who didnt see this coming? OH SHIT IT WAS THE OTHER DRIVER! wow! i was so happy to see it was not mikeys fault! See? nascar drivers can turn right! hahaha
Damn Ferraris, should realize they don't own the road at Lemans! ;)
Such a shame about both these accidents. So glad they're ok. McNish's crash was especially spectacular. It was as though a force field held the car back, there were 20 or so people right behind that wall and the car was well over it spinning in the air. Miracle no one was hit!
@nakednudedave Not a lot else to see really im afraid at this. I watched most of the live footage around it and it is mostly repeats, no more views of the crash. You can see the stretcher by the barrier at some point that the commentators didnt notice.
I was kind of expecting something like that :-/ These lights on Audis are just incredibly powerful and I wouldn't be surprised if the Ferrari driver couldn't see where the Audi was. Glad that Rocky is alright....
Yeh. slowly being robbed of a fantastic duel between audi and peugeot though these accidents. as long as the drivers are ok then thats what matters. Both accidents looked like they hurt big time
lol Ferraris took two audis out!

I think that Ferrari dosen't like Audi because both in both Audi crashes, there was a Ferrari involved. Thumbs up if you agree!
