Eklat at the prestigious “Road to Le Mans” race! Shortly after the start of the second run of the LE MANS Cup on the Circuit de la Sarthe, an accident occurred on Saturday-and Ferrari-Pilot Gino-Generoso Forgione completely lost control.
After a crash with a rival, the 61 -year -old Swiss started on the opposing car – with fists and kicks!
It crashed into the legendary Dunlop chicane: Forgione and his opponent Josep Mayola Comadira came together. The Spaniard rushed into the rear of the Ferrari from Forgione. Both vehicles turned, and Comadira’s car even briefly picked up during a further touch.
But that’s not all! While the dust of the accident was still lying, Forgione got angry out of his car, trudged towards his rival’s vehicle and completely lost his nerves. First he stepped against the driver’s door, then he pushed on the window with fists and the roof – a scene as if from an action film!
It is only thanks to the quick intervention of the sports attendant that the situation did not escalate completely. One of them grabbed the raging Ferrari driver and bravely pulled him away from the car. Forgione defended himself at first, but then calmed down slowly and moved away from the scene.
From 2:45 p.m. there is the 24-hour race from Le Mans Live at Nitro and on RTL+!
Forgione is actually considered a gentleman driver. The experienced hobby racer is no stranger to the scene and always starts in the LE Mans Cup-a racing series that offers a stage both ambitious and young talents.
But after this freaking out, it should be difficult for the Swiss to maintain this image. Fighting scenes like this are rather unusual in European motorsport. In the American Nascar scene, on the other hand, you can often experience brawls on the race track or in the pit lane.
