The replays from Speed never were able to capture who it is that might have nudged Belmondo into the Corvette - is this definite, Fab?
Belmondo cursed on TV when being interviewed by Amanda Stretton, saying some "effing c***" had hit him up the rear. It's caused quite a stir over here, with our delicate ears, and of course without replays showing a car hitting him, people are saying Belmondo wasn't hit at all and just lost it.
I couldn't find in the ACO's notes whether he was helped into the Corvette or not, and I don't see a Pescarolo pitstop listed near the time of the incident. Perhaps I'm missing it. The incident was around 23h00 local time (for anyone who wants to check it out).

It's easiest to just manually change the number in the URL to check the notes after this (28, 29, 30 etc.).
Also the hourly summaries:

edit: I do note that in the lap charts, the 17 car dropped 9 positions around this time:

edit 2: I note that the only other cars that dropped positions during this time were Larbre and Epsilon, and both are likely to have had other reasons to be dropping down the charts at that time.
