    That privateer in question did have a podium finish at the 24 Hr recently at Spa.

    I stepped out for a bit earlier and missed Audi crash #2 so I've been looking 'round for video. Don't know who's seen what but the best clip I've seen yet comes at the end of this one. I think they're saying it's a bit of spectator video, about 20 seconds long and starts around 7:30, give or take.

    The ACO requested that the driver stay out of the car for the rest of the race.

    This has always been an issue in endurance racer.
    With 4 different classes and speed differences of 50 mph or more there are bound to be accidents.
    There is also the issue of amateur drivers and professionals on the same track.
    I am happy that none of the drivers were injured.
