    Sorry if it's a repost, but I think it just happened.

    I'm not really a Le Mans fan, but I'm curious why this car would behave like that, cutting right so quickly such a long distance from the turn? Is is just driver error, or some weird mechanical malfunction? Lucky miss with that other car, looked like inches. TIA cheers, cuneo

    It's a repost and things like that happen by magic.

    I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed. I just saw it around Noon today on ESPN. Amazing crash! I haven't heard of a suspected cause, but there could be several possiblities...brake exploding, engine grenading, sudden loss of tire pressure, etc.. Something made the rear end come around at speed. Any air under those cars and they become projectiles! It's just amazing that he got out essentially unhurt. (A broken ankle is minimal for the damage sustained I think)
