Good on Audi for making a Le Mans car that can take punishment like that, and then have the driver be able to open the door and walk away.

Yeah I saw this on speed channel a little bit after it happened. Brutal!
The structural integrity of the driver's seat capsule is amazing to withstand that kinda punishment.
After this crash it's great that audi was able to pull through with the win!

Sweetest Le Mans win for Audi yet. It was a real F1 style race from start to finish. Congrats team Audi

Me too. Felt good driving around in my S4 after the race.
I think that Rockenfeller's crash was even more scary.....into the armco at 180+MPH....I really wondered if he was dead....that was scary.
Well done too Audi....the R18 is not prettiest car out there but it proved its worth.
Cheers,

^^ Agreed. Thought his crash could've killed him.
