VIDEO: LMS - Replay of Stephane Ortelli's Huge Shunt

Usually our video day is Thursday but this shunt is worth a special posting.

It has been a long time since we have seen a Le Mans Prototype in a crash this big. But this crash also displays the strength of the cars.



Stéphane Ortelli's Oreca had a mechanical failure on the front straight at Monza. The car snapped sideways, hit the wall, flipped several times before hitting another wall and coming to rest.

Amazingly, Ortelli only suffered a broken ankle.

This replay shows the accident from multiple angles in what is truly an amazing show of how safe Le Mans cars really are.
