Must have been red for about 30 minutes now.

Ferrari 111 and 333 crashed, not sure on corner. 333 was up in flames and 111 was across the track. The helicopter had to land trackside to airlift 1 or both of the drivers to hospital (Most reports seem to indicate the driver of the 111 car being worst).

No replays have been shown of the incident, only the aftermath when it was very first on screen. It didn't look good frown
It was Stavelot, and from what I can gather, a good amount of the red flag time was more than likely spent stabilizing Marcus Mahy for the airlift.

From a race goer's point of view does Spa24hr have the party atmosphere of LM24hr?

I understand it's more like N24. Less idiots, more race fans.

Just tuned back in, how long has there been a red? And the 111 Ferrari, wasn't that the one which crabbed all the way around to the pits earlier. What happened?
did it make it back though or was the crash due it moving so slowly?

Just got back! That was a long drive...

A great weekend, shame the Bentleys didn't pull off a third victory in a row, but everything conspired against us!

Many photos will follow (only of large white cars...) once I've sorted them out.

I caught bits of this plus the last couple of hours on Motors TV over the weekend. Pretty close race in the end, would have been nice if MarcVDS's gamble had paid off. So Audi have the Le Mans/N24/Spa trio this year.

But all the crashes earlier on Saturday yikesyikes ! Not sure if it's just a lot of bad luck, field being too big, cars being too close to each other on performance, bad driving, or some of all those.
