THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.

The audi r8 engine blew up and was leaking oil. The (pro) driver kept racing and spilt oil over the racing line.

This is a very fast corner and drivers barely lift from the throttle going round it; if there is oil on the braking zone, its almost impossible to slow down.

Everyone is ok but white F430 driver is still in hospital with broken vertebrae and punctured lung.

The race was red flagged almost immediately after this accident.

Any questions, ask me.

Why so many drivers ignore the double yellow flags?

It's a curse

It's amazing that the White F430 driver was injured, and the Porsche driver got away unhurt ... it's frightening how it launches it's insides at that catch-fence when the F430 hits it! D:

Cool man i quadruple appreciate the info that what i hate sometimes when ppl post accidents or winning races without detail or a simple explanation.

Lol.

Armco barriers are OK here but those parts of concrete walls in the outside of the corner...that's stupid and dangerous.

Look at the F430 smashing the concrete, no wonder his driver got badly hurt...Steel barriers absorb impacts much better than a normal concrete wall...if you want concrete walling, at least use SAFERs...

Porsche is very safe. Nice car!
