Wehlen Cadillac Racing driver Pipo Derani dramatically crashed out from the lead at the 12 Hours of Sebring, after controlling
At Round 2 of the 2024 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Pipo Derani, who was leading the race, had a dramatic crash at Turn 9, causing his Cadillac to rollover and land on its roof due to a significant impact with the tyre barrier. The incident occurred when Derani was lapping the #21 AF Corse Ferrari driven by Miguel Molina; he moved right to pass the Ferrari and made contact with its front. Prior to the crash, Derani had a 12-plus-second lead over Felipe Nasr in the #7 Porsche Penske 963, showcasing strong pace in the Cadillac. Unfortunately, the #31 Cadillac will not defend its title from the previous year’s race as the incident led to its retirement. Derani was able to exit the car himself after being assisted by marshals, and both cars involved in the crash are now confirmed as retirements from the race. #Sebring12 #IMSA.pic.twitter.com/KuLJMr9qOt
