🗣 'I am super lucky to be in a safe Cadillac because that was almost out of a movie scene.' Roger van der Zande talks about his massive Eau Rouge crash in Saturday's FIAWEC Spa 6 Hours. Story:
Renger van der Zande has described the crash that put the #3 Cadillac out of the Spa round of the World Endurance Championship as “almost out of a movie scene”.Having made the decision to start the race on slick tyres on a damp track, van der Zande was running a strong second behind the race-leading #7 Toyota when he lost control of the #3 Cadillac V-Series.R on the approach to the Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex in the second hour of the race.
The Chip Ganassi-run Cadillac team says it has yet to determine the exact cause of the crash, despite initial suggestions pointing to an issue with the car's power steering. “Jumping out of that car is a miracle and I’m quite proud that Cadillac builds such strong cars. We’ll bounce back and continue our develop as a team.”Cadillac had entered the #3 V.Series.R at Spa as preparations for its return to the Le Mans 24 Hours, where it will be present with three LMDh cars - two via Ganassi and a third via the Action Express Racing team.
