Carnage as rain strikes Le Mans.
Heavy rain less than 15 minutes into the start of the 2001 Le M🃏ans 24 Hours could have decided the fate of at least a dozen contenders after a major pile up through the Porsche curves that claimed amongst others, Stefan Johansson's Gulf Audi.
The opening 30-minutes of the 2001 Le Mans 24 Hours will long be remembered for a fourt𝄹h lap accident that could well have eliminated up to a dozen cars as torrential rain turned the sweeping last section of the historic 8.45-mile La Sarthe circuit into little more t🍬han a skating rink.
