The very beginning of the second hour of racing at the 24 Hours of Spa was marked by the terrible accident between the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO n ° 112 – CSA Racing and the Porsche 911 GT3 R n ° 22 – Schumacher CLRT at the exit of Blanchimont.
So in slow motion for several moments, Josh Mason was trying to return to the path of the stands with his McLaren. Placed on the trajectory, Mason is struck at full speed by the Porsche 911 GT3 R n ° 22 – Schumacher CLRT de Laurin Heinrich, who could not see the car somewhat masked by the Mercedes -AMG GT3 EVO N ° 48 – Mercedes -AMG Team Mann Filter of Maro Engel.
BIG shunt at Blanchimont 💥
The #22 Schumacher CLRT Porsche thunders into a limping #112 CSA McLaren at speed.
We’re relieved to see Laurin Heinrich out of the car and walking away. Joshua Mason is conscious and has been extracted and taken to the medical centre for assessment.… pic.twitter.com/M9pT36eU7C— GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS (@GTWorldChEu) June 28, 2025
The images are quite terrifying and the race management logically neutralizes the run in full race Yellow. Laurin Heinrich was able to leave the Porsche while Josh Mason was taken to the medical center for control.
On the race side, and before his short stop, Marvin Kirchhöfer remains in the lead with the McLaren n ° 59 – Garage 59 ahead of Sandy Mitchell (Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Evo2 n ° 163 – VSR).
So third, Aston Martin Vantage GT3 n ° 7 – Comtoyou Racing by Nicki Thiim (also penalized by 5 “for excessive speed in the channel of the stands) observed a short stop, just like the Mercedes n ° 48 – Mercedes -AMG Team Mann Filter, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO N ° 32, 31 and 46 – Team WRT, the BMW n ° 98 – Rowe Racing or the Porsche n ° 96 – Rutronik Racing.
However, no success for the Ferrari 296 GT3 n ° 51 – AF Corse -Francorchamps Motors, driven into its box after an hour 6 ‘. The car was able to leave on track, but points to 65th row in two laps.
#51 Ferrari in early trouble? 😱
Thankfully, it’s only a brief issue and they’re back into action. But the damage in terms of time lost is done 👎
