Where needed.
Aside from the lack of trackside photographers and marshalls, the one involving the second Audi driven by Mike Rockenfeller was even scarier. I've met Mike a number of times at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and thought I was going to get sick when they showed what was left of his car. Amazingly he was able to get over the armco rail under his own power and "only" sustained a cut leg and severe bruising. The remaining Audi went on to win by 13 seconds!!!

Yeah there was nothing left of Rockenfeller's car. Did the crash get captured at all? All the video/images I've seen are aftermath shots.

Yes, they got from in car as he approached to pass, and then from a stationary camera, as he hit the grass and turned in front of the Ferrari. As dramatic as McNish. Amazing they both suffered nothing but bruises.
