Alan McNish

Featured Replies

So another Le Mans has come and gone and Alan McNish again collided (or just avoided) with a slower car. Whilst the result was somewhat better than last years accident, he did essentially lose the number 2 car a probable win.

Is McNish too impetuous or should the ACO rules change re the slower cars? Currently the slower cars get to keep the racing line and do not need to give way to the faster cars. There were several incidents both this year and last as a result of slower cars clipping the far faster LMP1 cars resulting in serious accidents. These include the McNish crash in 2011, Rockenfeller in 2011 and Davidson in 2012. Let alone the three slow speed impacts of the Audi's this year trying to avoid the slower cars in crucial areas.

I don't agree with the blue flags in F1 and similarly here, if your cars fast enough, has enough grip, handles well enough and you're a good enough driver you'll pass them anyway, it's racing with all it's obstacles.

I’d say impetuous - overtaking drivers should take responsibility
