Did Michael Waltrip even do one hour of driving before he got out? I don't want to criticize him too much. He has race car experience I can only dream of having. But either he is out of his league, or racing at Lemans is much harder than we can imagine.

I'm sure they are learning. This is their first time.

Fingers crossed on this one, doesn't look good...

#1 Audi huge impact with the barriers after hitting a Ferrari.
Rockenfeller confirmed out of the car under his own power.

Hoping that Rockenfeller is okay - it is encouraging that they're reporting that he got out under his own power.
