A heavy crash early in the first qualifying session of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring Qualifiers triggered a lengthy red flag at the Nordschleife.

The #39 Aston Martin went left into a wall at Adenauer Forst, resulting in significant damage to the barrier, which needed immediate repairs.

It triggered a red flag at 08:45 CET, which lasted 55 minutes; however, RacingNews365 has discovered that qualifying ahead of this evening's one-hour race has been extended.
