    They had to come up with somethign that was competitive with the 908s.
    Maybe they have given a bit too much attention to an R14 DTM car instead of their prototype.

    Indeed. We should use some in a KFL car.

    The Pes. 908 had a real nasty crash.


    Very scary.

    Haven't found any footage of how it happened, though.

    the cockpit seems somehow less damaged, I read the driver should be fine, or so I hope.

    AFAIK there's no footage. No cams have captured the crash from what I know.

    Driver was fine, just caused a real scare as he didn't emerge & some assumed the worse.

    Has the team announced the cause of the crash?

    Nothing on Pescarolo site. Here's what the others suppose:
    Motorsport.com: News channel

    As far as I know #17 came into pits minutes before the crash with a smoke coming from its left rear wheelarch. It had some time being fixed, Treluyer got in and crashed almost immediately.

    P.S. Here's something from Henri Pescarolo:
