There have been quite a few at Eau Rouge this weekend, including the Porsche GT3 car that set pole time, the crashed, and had to withdraw.

Damn. That's a bad hit.  Glad driver not hurt.

Yikes that is a nasty turn. We have seen quite a few hard crashes there in the past few years.

With the track improvement have any of the cars bounced back onto or across the track though? That has been the issue in the past but I think they have solved that. Eau Rouge and Raidillon aren't meant to be easy, I'm glad they haven't dumbed them down.

That was a hard hit and I'm glad that he's okay.

Also, it's fun to say Renger Van Der Zande.

A very strategically placed (gray) squishy barrier made that a much safer hit than it could have been.

Ouch. From what I've seen this year so far in IMSA, the big hybrid prototypes look like a handful.

Wet painted surfaces and slicks don't play well together. Glad he was able to walk away.
