2000 - Le Mans - Walter Brun's huge accident

At 9am, the #56 Team Goh Chamberlain Chrysler Viper GTS-R driven by Walter Brun suddenly snaps right just before Arnage and it is a big impact, the car could have been doing around 200 mph at the time and the car lost a lot of body work en route. It was caused by a blown out left rear. The driver is OK but it was a hell of a thump.

There is debris and gravel all over the track. It will take no further part and the Chamberlain crew can pack up and get ready to go home.

@JontieDesario I like the commentator though, but I have yet to know his name.

@33unholy it doesn't seem like live commentary to me, so the moment was gone, still i agree, he could have tried :/

[33unholy]

the commentator doesn't seem exited

tough year for the viper in racing, this was the same year that Bret Parker flipped his ALMS viper at Road Atlanta.

quick reaction by the marshalls.

Anyone know who the commentator is?

On Radio Le Mans this yeah - Hugh Chamberlain said amazingly this car was hardly damaged apart from the bodywork - when they first saw the car sitting there they thought it was a chassis gone!
