Ortelli's crash Le Mans Series at Monza 2008 (live)

Stéphane Ortelli looses control of his Courage-Oreca LMP1 at a speed of 315 km/h during the 1000 km of Monza race, 2nd round of the Le Mans Series. He escapes with only an injured ankle (small fractures). Initially it was reported that the cause of the crash was not brakes but a wing failure (but also was reported later that it was a suspension failure - can't find a source).

2:14 is that some random guy stealing the wrecked diffuser? Doesn't look like a course marshall.

Also the coverage is terrible. Pitlane, cut to 2 seconds of a huge crash, cut back to pitlane. wtf?

I don't know but might be this: after Senna's accident in F1 it has become a habit not to show the car/driver after serous looking crash.

4:07 "this looks like its a repray" they make Jonathan Legard sound good.

Lucky he didn't hit McNish's Audi...would have been far worse.
