It's not like you to talk so much shit Thilo. Kauffman raced at Spa, and did 15 laps over the 3 qualifying sessions last year - otherwise he wouldn't get to race. The only reason his team was in GTE-Pro was to use the latest 458 Italia as it could not be used in the Am category - there are no requirements in order to be in the Pro class, lineups are free.
But someone please give me a good reason not to think that that contact was somehow deliberate. Not even Nakajima's lack of brains at handling traffic could cover that crash as an excuse, he had more than enough space to be comfortable with and he still veered into the Deltawing. Pisses me off to see the Deltawing have to retire so early into the race, and specially because of some F1 flop in an Idiyota.
is the delta wing completely out or are they still trying to repair it? They do actually rebuild the crashed Toyota atm, which is quite unbelieveable someone from Toyota said it may run again in the next 2 hours
The medical doctor of Porsche Motorsports, who is mainly working for the FIA at other weekends, said to the German Eurosport crew, that Davidson couldn't be recovered/couldn't recover himself from the car quicker because the hybrid system failed (it should shut down automatically when experiencing unnatural accelerations) and was still running. That's why you see the track workers standing there not doing anything with the car.
