Felipe Nasr Crashes Out of Petit Le Mans After Winning Endurance Cup

Felipe Nasr crashed heavily into the wall at Petit Le Mans after clipping a GT car while trying to avoid his sister Porsche, ending the #7 Porsche Penske Motorsport entry's race shortly after the team clinched the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup title. The violent front-stretch wreck briefly sent the Porsche 963 airborne. The incident occurred as Nasr ran closely behind teammate Laurens Vanthoor, who veered left to rejoin the racing line after lapping the #28 RS1 Porsche GT3 of Jan Heylen, leaving Nasr with nowhere to go. The crash triggered the 14th full-course caution, tying the event record set in 2017, which was later broken by a 15th caution following further incidents. It was the second same-manufacturer collision on the front stretch, following an earlier Ferrari-on-Ferrari crash involving Antonio Fuoco, who received a 60-second penalty. The #5 JDC-Miller Porsche also crashed earlier after being forced onto wet grass.
