The yellow Ferrari clearly moves over the centerline, into the path of the overtaking Audi. Apparently the Ferrari driver is an investment banker.
Guess he was just being bullish.

He took the racing line which the slower cars are told to do, so its upto the LMP cars to find their way round which make sense...even though the Audi had the equivilent of Blackpool's illuminations bolted to the front of it. I guess its hard to judge how fast its approaching behind you, 70+mph faster by all accounts.Comment

This years cars were always going to be a lot more fragile with everything pared down to make the baseline weight as low as possible, given the reduced power of the LMP cars. Glad to see everyone surviving intact! Since the power reductions for LMP, the GT cars have actually been able to accelerate at least as quickly but the top speeds are still much, much higher for a prototype, hence those mad closing speeds. I read in Racecar that they expect the problem to be worse for the sprint races (eg Silverstone) as the same number of cars cram into a shorter lap.Martin Cutting
