Straight from Audi:

"Timo Bernhard had a testing accident at Sebring in an Audi R18. After a problem, the Audi driver hit the tire wall in Turn 17 backwards at high speed. He climbed out of the vehicle himself. For a medical check, he was admitted to hospital. As a precaution, he spent the night of March 19 in hospital and will undergo further examination."

From looking around i came across this, although a rumour at this stage :-
"Rumors hear that he has a broken veterbre or 2. Audi is not wanting to talk about the issues"

So must have been a very big shunt. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery.

Went into the wall at 120 odd mph having got it down from 170 odd. Big smash.
