    Wow! Just WOW! It's amazing no one was injured. But without doubt, that R18 is FASSST!

    Your link is awesome S.F. Tomorrow I'll wake up, watch the start of the F1 race then go for a quick, 24 Hr. Le Mans "in car" lap as the sun rises at Le Mans. Plenty of coffee needed for tomorrow!!

    Another lost R18. Rockenfeller. Climbed out seemingly unharmed.

    Audi Safety. But two lost vehicles? Eeeeesh.

    But...looking at how the debris and tire were flying everywhere, than the Good Lord no one was killed or injured...

    Seems like the 458 drivers can't see behind them very well.......

    Rockenfeller in #1Audi has huge accident..

    At 22:50 hrs the #1Audi was driving at full speed down the fast stretch leading up to Indianapolis.
    He caught up a slower #71 AF Corse Ferrari 458 which moved fractionally into the path of the Audi. The Audi took evasive action, got onto the dust. It then snapped left and hit the Armco head on and then veered over to the right hitting the Armco on the right incredibly hard. Rockenfeller extricated himself from the car and climbed over the barriers.


    It's also nice to see that all the support/emergency vehicles are Audi.
