The WEC race in Spa was canceled after an accident between Cadillac and BMW in the fifth hour

With just under two hours to go before the end of the race, Bamber was pushing Neel Jani’s Proton Porsche 963 LMDh for third place as the pair found themselves in the battle for fourth place in the LMGT3 class on the way to Les Combes.

With Jani slightly behind Gelael’s WRT-entered BMW M4 GT3 and Erwan Bastard’s D’Station Aston Martin Vantage, Bamber overtook the Swiss as he rounded the right-hand bend of the Kemmel straight.

But as he moved to the right to get to Jani, he clipped the front of Gelael’s car and rammed his own chip Ganassi Racing V-Series.R LMDh hard into the guard rails on the right side of the road.

Bamber’s car hovered in the air before landing on its wheels, while Gelael made heavy contact with the guard rails on the left side.

It is assumed that both drivers are OK.

At the time of the interruption, Ferrari was leading the race with two factory 499P Le Mans hypercars.

Alessandro Pier Guidi with starting number 51 led Antonio Fuoco in the car with starting number 50, which had been excluded from qualifying due to being underweight and demoted to the back of the grid.
