2001 - Le Mans - Chaos in the rain

At 4.12pm, the rain began to hurl down at Indianapolis and the Porsche Curves. It was a difficult time as practically all of the cars were on slicks!

In order of the incidents in the video clip:

4.14pm: Stefan Johansson (Johansson Motorsport Audi R8-2000) obtains some frontal damage at Indianapolis but is able to limps on.

4.15pm: Eric Bernard (DAMS Cadillac Northstar LMP 01) spins off into the gravel at Porsche Curves.

4.16pm: The #7 Bentley EXP Speed 8 pits for fuel and tyres.

Ralf Kelleners spins his #3 Champion Racing Audi R8-2001 at Porsche Curves but is able to carry on.

The #58 Larbre Compétition Chrysler Viper GTS-R limps into the garage for a rebuild.

Five cars have spun at Porsche Curves and the track is blocked.

4.18pm: The safety cars are out.

The five cars stranded at the Porsche Curves are:

Toni Seiler in his #61 Konrad Motorsport Saleen S7-R.

David Terrien in his #61 Equipe de France FFSA Chrysler Viper GTS-R.

Milka Duno in her #37 Dick Barbour Racing Reynard 01Q.

Martin O'Connell in his #35 S & R Rowan Racing Ltd Pilbeam MP84.

Anthony Reid in his #34 MG Sport & Racing Ltd Lola EX257 would need a new rear wing as the car suddenly snapped away and went on the grass. The rear wing touched the wall and went to the pits. (Not shown in the video I think)
