00:00 sur le circuit de la Conrad, la 6ème, la 7ème, Alex Cascatao et Kevin Rorscheidt
00:05 qui sont à l'arrière de la grille.
00:08 Vous pouvez voir à quel point c'est court.
00:10 Nous avons eu une course d'extra formation pour certains des voitures.
00:13 Oh, des problèmes ! Quelqu'un est déjà arrivé.
00:16 C'est le 35 car, un accident énorme pour Alex Cascatao.
00:20 C'est un flanc rouge avant que nous ne puissions même commencer la course.
00:24 C'était un impact énorme.
00:26 Off the line, what an absolute shame.
00:30 The car that qualified in 13th place has had a big impact.
00:34 It looks like he is all OK.
00:36 So Alex Cascatao, oh my goodness,
00:40 he did all the work of qualifying clearly on cold tires.
00:44 And although the air temperature is 31.8°C
00:48 and it's 34°C on the track,
00:51 the tires are still cold.
00:53 They are not allowed tire warmers in Porsche.
00:56 In Porsche, sorry, in prototype.
00:58 Get my P's right, prototype cup Germany.
01:01 They are not allowed tire warmers.
01:03 So getting heat into the tires is important.
01:05 And on the formation lap, the car has clearly got away from him.
01:09 He's gone into the barrier by the looks of things.
01:12 I don't think he's collected anybody else.
01:15 But there is an awful lot of debris.
01:17 This is going to take a bit of time to clear up, I should think.
01:20 So, wow, Alex Cascatao, the driver who we had high hopes for
01:27 and who scored so well at Zanvort.
01:30 Sitting in something of a monocoque.
01:33 Right, let's have a look here.
01:34 We can see what happened.
01:35 Here he is, he's just lost it on his own.
01:37 Head first into the barrier.
01:39 That is a massive impact.
01:41 So just lighting up the tires,
01:44 the car swaps ends and into the barrier he goes.
01:47 And the car just disintegrating.
01:50 There's another angle here.
01:52 You can see him coming around.
01:53 He just gives it a boot of throttle.
01:55 And the back end steps out and into the barrier.
01:59 I'm joined alongside, actually, by the voice of DTM this weekend, Dave Richardson.
02:06 And that's the problem with the Norris ring,
02:08 is it does give us some very nasty incidents like this, doesn't it?
02:12 Do you know, I'm just watching that in replay, Brian.
02:15 And just the way that car snapped, you know, before it was thrust into the barriers.
02:22 I am just beginning to wonder.
