Ford GT Suffers Monster Shunt After Spinning At Spa’s Infamous Eau Rouge

Stefan Mücke lost control of the No. 66 Ford GT at Spa’s infamous Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex after a piece of bodywork flew off the car in the final hour of the FIA WEC race

Incredibly, after such a hefty shunt, Ford has confirmed that despite Mücke suffering “a fair bit of bruising” he is okay, following medical checks at the circuit

The new ford GTs have been having a lot of issues racing this year. In the 24hrs of daytona one went into the pits for a transmission issues just 20 minutea end. Then this wreck, then their rivial the corvette in the imsa league are sailing out in front. Must be hard on the drivers

Ford bought an engine from Honda, but forgot the Vtec kicked in

Maybe it was a tire blowout? Because the part flew off after the car started to spin.

It seems that the piece flew off after the control was loose, so it was not the cause of the accident.
