Of course I was wrong. From DSC:

Michael Fassbender lost the rear of the #93 Proton Competition Porsche under heavy braking going into the first Mulsanne chicane, a big frontal shunt to the driver’s right Armco red flagging the session. Seemingly a driver error, the Irish Bronze driver was thankfully unhurt.
