Overview
- The crash, which occurred Saturday during the China GT fourth-round sprint at Shanghai International Circuit, left Millroy’s Ferrari struck, engulfed in flames and the race red-flagged and abandoned.
- Phantom Global Racing driver Loek Hartog stopped, grabbed a fire extinguisher and pulled Millroy from the burning cockpit in a rescue captured on on-board footage.
- Millroy was hospitalised with five broken ribs, a fractured collarbone, a broken hand and finger and a bruised lung and is scheduled for surgery before a multi-week recovery.
- AAI Motorsports and TBC by 610Racing publicly criticised the speed and adequacy of track emergency response and have withdrawn from the China GT championship pending meetings with organisers.
- Broadly reported footage and team statements say the sequence began when Neil Verhagen and David Chen made contact on damp grass approaching Turn 14, which sent cars back onto the racing line and triggered the high-speed impact that struck Millroy.
