The Scot retired his Audi inside the first hour of the annual endurance classic after slamming heavily into the crash barriers in an accident on lap 15.Going under the Dunlop Bridge on entry to the Esses, McNish momentarily passed team-mate Timo Bernhard before coming to grief as he attempted to do likewise to the GTE Pro Ferrari of Anthony Beltoise.
The incident halted a promising drive by the two-time Le Mans winner after he surged from fifth on the grid to take the lead in just 50 minutes. McNish later denied more caution may have prevented his 120mph crash.‘From where I was sitting, going down the inside, there was not a risk to get into that corner,’ said the 41-year-old.
