Overview
- A multi‑car collision at the Shanghai International Circuit on Saturday left Ollie Millroy’s Ferrari struck, engulfed in flames and the race immediately red‑flagged.
- Phantom Global Racing driver Loek Hartog stopped his car, took a fire extinguisher and pulled Millroy from the burning cockpit in footage that shows the rescue took about 49 seconds from when Hartog left his Porsche.
- Millroy was taken to hospital with multiple fractures and breathing injuries and is scheduled for operations with several weeks of recovery expected.
- AAI Motorsport criticised delayed marshal and firefighting response, said Millroy’s car burned for more than a minute, announced it will withdraw from the China GT series and reserved the right to take further action.
- China GT organisers have issued an apology and pledged a full investigation into race management, emergency response and medical support, a review that could prompt changes to safety protocols and team participation.
