Audi R8 GT3 Driver Flips At Macau Yet Still Wins Race

Laurens Vanthoor took victory in the GT World Cup race at Macau despite suffering a huge airborne crash in his Audi, which brought out the red flag and cut the race short

Vanthoor won the qualifying race on Saturday but a red flag emerged on the opening lap after a crash at the final corner, which resulted in lengthy barrier repairs.

The clocks counted down and with 15 minutes to go, the race resumed. In typical Macau style, it didn’t take long for another red flag to come out but this time it was for Vanthoor.

Earl Bamber slipstreamed ahead of Vanthoor when the Macau GT World Cup race finally resumed. But a mistake at the fast Mandarin kink pitched Vanthoor into the wall and his car launched into the air, rolling over and landing on its roof.

He emerged from his damaged Audi R8 unscathed but the race was red flagged after just one full lap of proper racing, with time running out for it to continue. So Vanthoor was declared winner, despite crashing out and causing the race to be stopped. How bizarre, classic Macau!

The suspension had to be softer, the bounce made that crash
