Default This is too close for comfort

A little more speed and the car would have gone over the tyres and killed people

That's the problem with having different classes on track together, an Audi like that is going to carry soo much more speed compared to the Ferrari but equally the Ferrari has to try and get round some how so probably didn't expect a car to shoot up the inside at that speed!!!

They should just run a GT1 class and that be it IMO....

That is very scary.

Rocky's accident on the Mulsanne was bigger - GT cars not giving the P1s enough room. Even though Alan's was a bit too aggressive.

I felt sick when I saw McNish's and glad he's ok. Having met him at Le Mans & Goodwood a few times a super nice chap.

Was gutted to see him out of the fight. Got it all recorded too it'll be gradulaly watched this week.
