Just read an interview with Tom Kristensen in the quarterly Audi magazine in Denmark, that the McNish accident happened because of poor visibility in the R18 (yes he said it), and also that the R18 is setup very aggressive because of the wide fronts, and therefor shifts a lot of weight to the front under braking, which pushes the driver to run more aggressive and braking very late. Tom believed this was the 3 explanations for the McNish Le Mans crash (poor visibility, aggressive driving and late braking). However the Rockenfeller crash he blamed solely on Kaufmann being inexperienced (this then being the official Audi explanation, no matter what Tom Believed himself)
