Audi suffered its second unbelievable accident just hours after Allan McNish's race-ending crash, with driver Mike Rockenfeller reportedly climbing from the destroyed R18 under his own power.

Rockenfeller, part of the defending race-winning No. 1 Audi R18 driving team, was attempting to pass the No 71 AF Corse Ferrari F458 driven by Michael Waltrip Racing's Rob Kaufmann at 10:40 p.m. when the two cars made contact at the ultra-fast Kink section of the Mulsanne Straight.

Official reports from both teams are forthcoming.
