At the half way mark #2 Audi R18 leads with Peugeot close behind

3:00 AM Sunday Le Mans France. The 2011 24 Hours of Le Mans is officially half over, the one remaining Audi R18 TDI is still topping the leader board with the 3 factory Peugeot’s close on their heels. The race has had some of the closest racing we have seen in the last 5 years, as well as some of the most terrifying moments in recent history with the 2 Audi R18’s crashing badly in separate incidents. One can only imagine how bad things would have been if Audi was still running a open top car.

10:40 PM Le Mans, France. Mike Rockenfeller crashed hard while passing a Ferrari 458 Italia near Indianapolis Corner. The car has disintegrated, and we are running full course yellow. Reports say that Mike Rockenfeller has climbed from the car under his own power, and over the armco barrier. We are waiting for more information and will post ast we get it.

Update: Rocky has been taken to the Le Mans hospital to have some more in-depth tests run to make sure there are no hidden injuries after such a huge traumatic crash.

Latest Update: It has been reported that Mike has a small flesh wound to his right arm, but no other injuries. This shows the incredible safety of the Audi R18’s to have two huge crashes this year and no injured drivers.
