24 Hours of Le Mans

A fiery night at Le Mans for Team LNT (pictures)

Planetlemans photographer Gerlach Delissen happened to be near the Dunlop Bridge during the 13th hour of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Just as he was there Team LNT’s Ginetta-Zytek GZ09S went off and caught fire.

Here are some of the images of the car (and driver) on fire just after coming to an end in front of the grandstand near the Dunlop Bridge.

  7. The world feed didn’t catch it apparently, so Speed wouldn’t have had the shot. I must have just missed it, too, since I walked past a couple of Ginetta mechanics in the spectators enclosure as they went looking for their car.
