Yahoo Autos AKKODIS ASP’s Robin cleared following WEC crash
AKKODIS ASP Team driver Arnold Robin has been discharged from hospital after undergoing precautionary checks following a crash in Free Practice 1 for the FIA World Endurance Championship round at Interlagos.
The Frenchman was taken to the medical center and then sent to a local hospital for checks after the heavy hit. A WEC spokesperson said he is now en route back to the circuit.
On a less positive note for the team, the No. 78 RC F LMGT3 was damaged beyond immediate repair on-site in the incident, which shortened the opening session due to lengthy barrier repairs. The car has therefore been withdrawn, meaning AKKODIS ASP’s effort is down to a single car — the No. 87 RC F LMGT3 — for the remainder of the weekend.
Free Practice 2 has been extended as a result of the red flag stoppage in FP1, and will run until 4:45pm local time.
