Is that the Aston Martin Vantage where Audi #1 crashed into?

EDIT: It is.

I think it was the #79 Jota Aston to be exact.

Edit: I'm wrong, it is the #60 Gulf AMR.

It looked like the Audi went straight because Dumas panicked and locked up.

No report of injury, it was fairly low speed really.

What a strange accident though. He either stopped turning, hit the kerb and lost grip, or locked up and slid straight on. Very odd.

Current ideal laptime from all the best combined splits (S1 #2, S2 #9, S3 #3) is a 3:26.5

Eurosport insist the accident was at Arnage, but it was definately Mulsanne Corner (gravel on the outside, kink before it).

Kronos Aston has suffered a drive shaft failure. It's done for the day.

EuroSport guys insisting the crash happened at arnarge when it was quite clearly Mulsanne as confirmed by Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.

They have made a ton of mistakes when locating where cars & other incidents are around the track tonight which is surprising when you consider how many years each of them have been going to le mans.

Wasn't the ACO aiming for times above the 3.30?
