Stephane Ortelli has escaped with only a broken ankle following a horrific high-speed accident in the l🎃ate stages of the s𓂃econd round of the Le Mans Series at Monza.

In a scene somewhat reminiscent of the famous incident involving Peter Dumbreck at Le Mans, air got underneath the car and the LMP1 machine flew through the air - only narrowly missing the Audiಌ of Allan McNish as the Scot negotiated the co♋rner.

The Courage then went into series of barrel-rolls before coming to rest, devoid of three of its wheels and most of its bodywork, right-side up against the barriers on the outside of the opening chicane🎀.

"I had to take avoiding actio༒n as Stephane flew through the air right in front of me at the first chicane in the closing stages," McNish said. "It was a shocking accident - a very frightening sight. Amazingly, he's only got a broken ankle."

Ortelli was the secꦺond driver to be injured in an accident during the weekend, with Creation AIM driver🍒 Jamie Campbell-Walter sustaining two damaged vertebrae in a shunt in qualifying.
