“I'm sorry guys, I was next to him, I was really next to him p…. ". In contact with his team via radio, Thomas Laurent is annoyed with what remains of his Signatech-Alpine stationary on the lawn bordering the circuit. The Frenchman, who was taking part in the Six Hours of Spa, round of the World Endurance Championship, with a good chance of winning, was the victim a few moments earlier of a violent off the track.
When he got the better of a competitor much slower than him, the Vendée bit the wet vibrator, which caused him to lose control of the vehicle at very high speed. After having crossed the track like a ball, the Alpine-Signatech n ° 36 went to be embedded in the security wall by turning around. The prototype's hull literally shattered but the pilot fortunately escaped the crash unscathed.
