No, it is outlawed. Bodywork is solid now, costing them +/- 5 km/h in top speed (according to earlier quote).

Motorsport-Total reports that Duval has a cut on his neck that was caused by the seatbelt as well as a big wound on one of his legs. Apparently no broken bones.

Dosen't sound like he'll be racing though.

Probably not. They said there is a support race after this.

Nice to see Lapierre immediately talking about Duval in his interview. It's going to be a hard fought race, but with the utmost of respect.

That's one thing the WEC really has going for itself compared to F1. The respect and camaraderie among the P1 competitors really seems to be very much intact.

You often see them talking to each other and being friendly, it's nice. No need for this "we're all enemies" mindset.

Lapierre and Duval shared twice the 908HDi oreca at le mans, Nakajima too was his partner in super GT

Windscreen was ripped off clean!

We're very lucky Loic only has the injuries that he has here.

I saw Audi confirmed they would build up a new car before tomorrow's qualy. Audi has this easily covered. They are the best in the business come crunch time.

Agreed. I see no reason why the #1 wouldn't be racing.

The only question is whether Duval will be driving.

Audi obviously won't have the backup car ready for tonight's second session. Most sources I've read is that Audi are working on said backup car to have it ready before the start of tomorrow's sessions.

Bigger question perhaps is will ACO and Audi Sport doctors clear Duval to race.

Who will they find as a replacement if he is not cleared?

If he doesn't I wonder who will fill in? I doubt it could happen with contracts and all but McNish should come back.

Gene is Audi's main reserve. He's one of the big reasons why there's rumored to be some partnership between Jota and Audi Sport.

Even if Loic Races, how will he deal with the shattered confidence of such a massive shunt?

Rockenfeller quit.
McNish was never the same.

Hope he picks up right where he left off.
