Well I base that on assumption, as Brabham states "Obviously when you see what happened on the television pictures, there is a lesson there for everyone on this grid." In addition to Franchitti saying "That's one of the biggest accidents I've seen". Plus the amount of detail of the crash the autosport article goes into.

I should think it will be, they'll want to keep the MTV generation interested so will probably play it into and out of every ad-break before the race! :p

According to the thread on Radio Le Mans Facebook the comments are reacting to the fact the car was already upside down BEFORE it hit the wall so I don't know if we have an aero flight issue or the contact with the car coming out of the pits was enough to invert it.

It's all guesswork at this point I suppose.

Edit: RLM will definately be showing it as part of their Qualy stream:

Yes, a RADIO station does a VIDEO stream, please don't bother worrying about that :p

AND looks like the car will be fixed:

A long day for the Highcroft guys on Friday - remember last year - groundhog day anyone?

That is a massive hit, that car also has an two onboard camera's too. Since the start of the season they have had two cammeras one mounted on the noise facing the drivers helmet and right of the roll bar.

Can't wait to see the show. Also please some one capture it. :thumbsup:

Practice 2 for ALMS, about 25 minutes in... Scott Sharp got together with the 87 Porsche, got sideways and then airborne, before slamming the wall and catchfence airborne, then digging in and rolling thrice. About 140mph I figure, I saw it as it crested the hill and first slammed the wall (I was blue flagging at turn 3).


Also, didn't see this mentioned yet, but here is an image of Lucas Luhr having an off yesterday (I think in the esses):

I'm at 3 for the weekend, he was airborne and impacted the wall right as he came into my view. Scary shit man... Apparently he got together with the 87 who was exiting the pits, got sideways and airbore and slammed into the wall almost top first, before digging in and rolling three times and coming to rest. Tore the catch fence down from the top of the hill all the way back to turn 1.
