ALMS champions hit trouble for second straight Le Mans Series race.

McNish himself also had a somewhat lucky escape after almost being collected by Ortelli's flying car at the opening chicane when the Frenchman lost control and came within inches of collecting the #1 R10.

“My thoughts are with Stephane who barrel-rolled through the air across the rear of my car," he said. "It was a shocking accident – a very frightening sight – and I wish him a quick and full recovery.

"Unfortunately we were again on a recovery drive and I'm especially disappointed because we had a car to win this race although on sheer pace, we're quite a long way from where we need to be. Audi Sport Team Joest did a superb job after Dindo's accident in repairing our extensively damaged R10 TDI in record-breaking time which allowed us to set competitive times for the remainder of the race."
