It proved a rough day at the office for rhino’s Leipert Motorsport though. Despite promising times during both free practice and the private test (in which only 61 cars took part), the team’s weekend was brought to a dramatic close when Jean-Marc Merlin slammed the Lamborghini Gallardo LP600 into the Armco after a trip through a rogue oil slick.
A destroyed front end and a wheel ripped completely from its mountings meant the doors to the rhino’s Leipert garage were closed before final qualifying even got underway.
