A dramatic late-restart collision between GTP contenders Kevin Estre and Jack Aitken in the closing minutes was the peak of Sunday’s chaotic Motul SportsCar Endurance Grand Prix.
With just over 10 minutes remaining in the six-hour IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup round at the 4.048-mile, 14-turn natural terrain road course, Estre, in the # 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport Porsche 963, and Aitken, in the #31 Whelen Cadillac V-Series.R, were locked in a fierce duel for second place. As the field charged into Turn 1 on the race's final restart, the two continued to lean into each other to gain the upperhand, but heavy contact followed and sent both frontrunners sliding into the outer barriers, ending their days prematurely and freezing the order under a race-ending full-course caution.
