Heard that had happened, too. I read it on Planet Le Mans, but no reason was given. I knew that one of the Aston's handgrenaded an engine at Le Mans, but that was after 23+ hours of having its neck rung.

On Racing Sports Cars' F1 section, some cars are listed as being spun off, but that usually means that the car was ditched due to accident or powertrain damage. Car could've spun and got stuck in gear, and couldn't move, or might have burned up the clutch if in too high a gear--an Audi R10 blew a clutch at Le Mans in '08 after it took off from a stop in 3rd gear or something, having gotten stuck in that gear during a spin.
