Le Mans - Drama with less than 3 hours to the finish

At 12:10 the decisive sequence of events that decide the outcome of the 80th edition of the Le Mans 24 Hours could have just gifetd the race to the Audi R18 e-tron quattro No. 1 of Treluyer, Lotterer and Fässler.
Forza Motorsport.

The only car that could have challenged it for victory was the other Audi R18 e-tron quattro No. 2 of Mac Nish, Kristensen and Capello. McNish hit the guardrail in the Porsche curves. At the same time, the Audi R18 Ultra No. 3 Dumas, Duval and Gene went into a tyre wall at the first chicane of the Mulsanne straight. That is to say exactly the same place as Dumas' accident late yesterday afternoon.

Both cars have returned to their pit for a new front while the safety cars circulate.
