Nasr Crashes After Endurance Cup Win

Former F1 driver Felipe Nasr crashed out of Petit Le Mans in a violent accident shortly after winning the IMSA Endurance Cup title.

The Brazilian driver was competing in the #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport entry when he made contact with teammate Laurens Vanthoor's #6 factory Porsche 963. The collision resulted in a dramatic front-stretch accident that ended Nasr's race just moments after he, Julien Andlauer, and Laurin Heinrich secured the prestigious Endurance Cup championship.

Nasr's victory in the Endurance Cup came despite the heartbreaking conclusion to his Petit Le Mans campaign. The accident occurred while he was closely following Vanthoor, who had been slowed by an unspecified issue during the race. sport-newz.biz
