In the 24 hours of Le Mans I keep hearing different corners of where he went off but does anyone know exactly where he crashed? The Esses is the only place I heard that makes sense but exactly which corner was it?

P.S. sorry if this was already answered.

A few hundred feet after the Dunlop Bridge.

I was at the scene of the accident in the spectator enclosure just behind the fence where the car came to rest. I haven't seen it reported anywhere, but I can tell you that exiting the downhill right hand bend after the Dunlop Bridge, he spun (cold tires? it was his out lap) and as the car was skidding sideways it became airborne in the same manner as the Peugeot did during the test day last year. It flew over the gravel trap and hit the barriers, rolling 3 to 4 times while bouncing on top of the rail. That's what destroyed the car.
