Saw this earlier. Pretty impressive.

The wheel that comes off and goes way up in the air and comes down near the guy in the blue tabard before chasing a few other victims off.  :scared:

That Ferrari shouldn't have been there and should have moved over straight away :confused: That wheel would have hurt some one if it would have hit them.

I think audi are contemplating packing up for the weekend rather than risk the 3rd car.

Serious crash that! What amazes me is how the drivers can just get up and walk away from a crash like that

Wow 2 humongous crashes!

Ironic tho watching the warm up sesh this morning commentators were saying mcnish is the best at getting thru traffic the quickest. They also said it's a 24 hour race and you can't win it in first hour only lose it. Maybe the Ferrari didn't see mcnish coming thru at that speed and mcnish should have taken a bit more care in getting thru the traffic. But hindsight and all that.

Lucky none of those toggers behind the barrier wasnt injured tho could have been very bad!

Bad luck with those Audi's, maybe a couple of these could have turned the luck:
