McNish was overtaking the Audi #1 but there was a Ferrari just in front and apparently he saw it at the very last moment. He hit the Ferrari and crashed in the tyre wall. Debris flying over the barrier, almost hitting photographers and marshalls.
 
where's the BMW art car?
 
grrr. Australian free to air tv is 2-3 hours behind everyone. Silly MotoGP.
 
The #58 Luxury Racing Ferrari from the McNish Incident earlier is back out on track now. 👍
 
I see we still have people who aren't aware of how sponsors work. "*gasp* There's Gran Turismo 5 Logos!" :lol:
 
I think "McNish didn't see the Ferrari" seams quite farfetched.

He did expect the Ferrari to have seen him, and that was already a big gamble, with such small mirrors and 2 cars behind.

If it had been Hamilton, people would be saying things like "Ban" and "Murderer"...
 
Was it just me or the marshalls at the Dunlop Bridge were giving #58 a blue flag before the accident?

Anybody else having trouble with the Audi telemetry-streaming website? Mine doesn't load. Maybe my crappy .6 mb/s internet connection is too busy with baekdals.com live standings and Radio Le Mans :lol:.

Yes they were, to make him aware of the #1 Audi behind.

They were and he must have seen the Audi #1 behind him but not the #3.
And McNish may have been a little bit overconfident.
It's racing, things like that happen.
 
Any idea whats happened to the Norma? 6 laps down now...

EDIT 4 laps and just passed the CRS ferrari

That's true. Drat. I still don't believe some commentators saying that McNish wouldnt've made the curve, I think he had enough space to mae it if it hadn't been because of that Ferrari being in the wrong place. Nobodies fault I guess, but I insist, in my opinion and Dr. Ulrich's, that #58 Ferrari shouldn't had taken that curve so tight. Anyway, "Diesela" and "Red Sonja" still going, lets see how things go!

Who else is cheering for #68 Robertson Racing in GT-AM? -"I took my wife to a Spa, she loved it" -"Yeah? I took my wife to race a Ford GT at Le Mans. We loved it." Epic!
 
Audi #1 in... problems? Nose coming off...
 
If the #1 Audi didn't take to the inside, why should he be wide? And how could he guess #3 was gonna try to pass there?

Should everyone bow to the Audi as they pass as well? :)

Not everyone, and not to Audi. Every GT to every LMP :sly:.
 
I saw the Hybrid, can't remember which number, or even race team it was, had to pull off.
 
Timo Bernhard is saying someone in traffic hit him lightly and they changed the nose just in case, according to what he said in interview with Speed and Radio Le Mans.

LOL

Still, I can't put any blame on the Ferrari driver, and my irony remark was to the Audi manager. He kinda thinks like that.
