With about 2:45 to go in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi #2 and #3 both crashed in separate incidents.  The #2, driven by Allan McNish was in the lead at the time, and it crashed into the barriers when McNish attempted a pretty aggressive maneuver in the Porsche Curves.  McNish’s crash promoted Audi #1 into the lead.  Astonishingly, the Audi team was able to get the #2 back on the track so fast, they only went  down one lap, so they were still in second place and still in the race – albeit with a long shot at this point.  The Audi team was able to get the #3 back on track in short order as well.  Simply amazing that the Audi teams could repair both of those cars simultaneously so quickly.
