This would most likely would have been a fatal crash in basically every type of open wheeler. If I was a LMP1 driver, I would kind of feel more safe now because we have seen time and time again that these cars can withstand the most extreme crashes with little to no effect to the driver.

Do they know yet what caused it ? Was it contact with another car, or the drive just losing control (seems pretty extreme for the latter)

I think the word was that it was caused by a tire failure.

According to that Autosport article on deggis's post #427 they don't know and are waiting until they can talk to Duval, who was admitted to hospital for observation.

Audi would know by now wouldn't they. They would have the tire pressure telemetry right up until all the sensors were destroyed.

All the mechanics and technical staff deserve a tribute because as people having fun while waiting the start of the race, they work hard to allow us to see cars in perfect condition.

Sebastien Crubilé will replace Bret Curtis. So it's safe to say the car will be the Crubilé Sport Porsche 911 GT3 RSR from ELMS.
