Alan McNish Crash at LeMans....wow!
- Thread starter Jetpilot3
- Start date
A serious wreck indeed but I did chuckle at the tire chasing down the camera man.:redface:
I am no expert here but looked like the Ferrari had the line first and the Audi cut inside illegally. I would say the Audi was at fault.

McNish passed the other Audi on the way to making a move on the Ferrari. The Ferrari driver thought there was only one Audi there, and saw it not closing very fast. McNish in the LMP was carrying a lot more corner speed, and made what he says was a normal passing move. The Ferrari driver didn't see him coming and turned in (thinking the other Audi was far back, which it was). Racing incident.

Interview with McNish, including questions about the crash, like the following...
Q. When you were cartwheeling did you fear you were going over the barriers?
AM: No you've got no knowledge of where you are. You just know you are up there.
