Audi Mechanics Used Duct Tape To Help Fix This Battered LMP1 Car In Just 4 Minutes
The #8 Audi of Loic Duval crashed just before the three-hour mark at Le Mans, but his team got the LMP1 machine back out in just four minutes!
The #8 Audi of Loic Duval was caught out by traffic ahead slowing down for yellow flags. As he swerved to avoid the fast-approaching pack, he tagged a Ferrari, spun across the track and hit the barrier hard. Damage was sustained to both the front and rear of his LMP1 machine.
The strength of the R18 e-tron quattro meant he was able to limp back to the pits, before the Audi mechanics did a phenomenal job to change the front end, rear end, engine cover, refuel, fit new tyres and complete a driver change - with Lucas di Grassi taking over - in just four minutes and 12 seconds. Crazy.
