Did you notice how HARD the safety guys were pulling on the driver at the end of the clip? Certainly would not help someone with a neck or back injury. Anyone certified to practive personal injury cases in France? There's gold in them 'thar hills!

I wish they would cut the s^%$ with all the downforce, now that there is real competition on LMP1 they are pushing the aero envelope again (like GT1). This year they already had some LMP1 car do something similar at Monza, and one of the Audi's blew a tire there and almost started to flip. These cars rely so much on aero, which only works going forwards on the asphalt. It's time for ACO to mandate some rules that limit the amount of downforce these cars are running. What started as just a simple mistake, that would have only resulted in a minor spin and a little contact with the wall resulted in an accident that could very easily been fatal.

I was sitting at T5 at Road Atlanta watching the big screen during this wreck. I saw the wreck happening on the screen and turned around to see the car flipping.
