Allan McNish’s 2011 Le Mans 24 Hour effort ended up turning into a Le Mans 1 Hour effort, after he clipped another car during an aggressive overtaking attempt.

The Audi then skidded through the gravel pit into a barrier, disintegrating upon impact. McNish walked away from the wreck unharmed, as did one guy who had a tire chasing him. Somehow, none of the photographers or officials standing at the barrier were injured, though if they didn’t crap their pants, they are stronger men than I would have been.
