Cadillac causes multi-car crash in Daytona 24 restart

Cadillac Wayne Taylor Racing GTP the Daytona 24 Hours

Cadillac’s hopes of scoring a victory in the Daytona 24 Hours took a big blow, with the #40 V-Series.R entered by Wayne Taylor Racing stranded on track after a mullti-car crash in the eighth hour.

After the fourth course yellow of the race was retreated, Louis Deletraz was battling with the #60 Meyer Shank Acura of Tom Blomqvist for sixth position in the GTP class.

But the Swiss driver seemingly spun on his own on the approach to Turn 2 at the restart, hitting the barriers at the exit of the corner before spinning back on track.

Chris Cumming was unable to avoid the Cadillac in the #73 Pratt Miller ORECA 07-Gibson as the LMP2 field arrived at the scene, triggering a multi-car incident in the dark in Florida.

Nick Boulle was seen exiting the #2 United Autosports ORECA after the incident, while the #8 Tower Motorsport LMP2 entry of Sebastien Bourdais also sustained damage.

Big wreck going into turn 1 after the restart collecting multiple cars in contention!

All drivers have been evaluated and released from the infield care center.

A number of GT cars too were caught up in the melee, including the #48 Paul Miller BMW, the #77 AO Racing Porsche and the #9 Pfaff Lamborghini.

The #48 Paul Miller BMW M4 GT3 EVO driven by Max Hesse was leading the GTD Pro class at the time of the collision.

The #40 Cadillac LMDh that caused the incident was put on the back of a flat-bed truck later in the hour, signalling the car's exit from the race.

The car was leading the GTP class in the hands of Kamui Kobayashi shortly after the sixth hour of the race.

The other two Caddys in the field sit in first and third positions, with Jack Aitken at the front in the #31 Action Express Racing-entered machine.
