Passionate about car racing, the American actor Michael Fassbender took part this weekend in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the second time in his "new" career. But no doubt the man who played a role in several successful productions such as X-Men, Inglorious Basterds or Shame was hoping for another result on the Sarthe circuit than the one obtained this year.
With just over four hours of racing remaining, Fassbender, driver for the Proton Competition team in the LMGTE category, suddenly lost control of his Porsche and crashed into the wall at high speed, destroying much of his trusty steed. Half an hour later, the racing car had not come out of the garage despite the relentlessness of the mechanics.
