24HR Le Mans

[Rogan]

Wow, did Audi destroy some cars, or what? I'm very surprised that McNish and Rockenfeller both walked away from those (Especially Rocky..)

[rage-wrx]

It was hard to see what happened to Rockenfeller .Did they show any footage of the crash?The car was in shreds & it looked pretty serious.

McNish had a spectacular crash although the jury is still out on what happened.The GT driver says he never even saw McNish coming.

Watch McNish's crash footage closely... Even "IF" the Ferrari driver didn't see him, or didn't close him off, or whatever.. If McNish "would've" gotten through, he was in there way too hot; he'd most likely went off, or plowed one of the Porsches in the poop-chute..

Rocky's crash was wicked nasty. It appears that he, too, was pinched off, and dropped a tire off the tarmac at over 200mph, causing the car to become unstable, with no time for correction.

You're right.I don't think he even made an attempt to brake.It was pretty lame driving from a guy who is in his 30th year of racing.

"From where I was sitting going down the inside of that corner, there was not a risk to get into that corner," "I've made that overtake many, many times before and I saw many other drivers doing it in the race afterwards."-McNish

How lucky are they that Audi opted for the closed cockpit.

A better video without commentary & some on board of both crashes.

Incredible that both survived. Especially Rocky. The nighttime runs down the narrow road going into Indianapolis are nail biting. I don't know how these guys have the balls!

How that car did not go over the guard rail,is amazing.Folks got a lucky break on that one.

For real.. if they happened to have their ISO set high enough and maintained presence of mind I bet someone could have got some spectacular photographs of the crash from there. I know the natural instinct is to duck, but I've been in situations where I just froze and squeezed the shutter, always makes for good pictures.
