VIDEO – Nick Cassidy (Peugeot) in the gravel at the pit exit

After 2 hours and 12 minutes of racing, Nick Cassidy lost control of the Peugeot number 93 from his first laps with the LMH in the race and found himself in the gravel.

An incident that comes at the worst possible time for Peugeot, as the Hypercar was on its out lap from the pits. The New Zealander, who is competing in his very first Hypercar season after several years in Formula E where he established himself as one of the most consistent drivers in the electric championship, was able to restart thanks to the intervention of the crane, but the gravel brought back onto the track forced race control to deploy the safety car, neutralizing a race that was beginning to take shape differently for several crews.
