No, the driver can get out and try to fix the car but he must not go further than something like 10m or 20m away from the car. Driver can talk to the pit crew over the radio and they can try and talk him through any repairs. The car can actually be lifted over the barrier or pushed by the marshals if it’s in a dangerous position.
What I find odd is why they don’t carry a basic tool kit in the car in a race like Le Mans. I can think of a few occasions where something as basic as a small screwdriver or a little jemmy bar could have got the car back to the pits.
I see. Not sure why i thought they had to stay in it? lol! I take it they have to get the car back to the pits unaided then. The tool kit would make sense though as i guess you could just sub it for ballast if you were worried about the weight penalty.

Can not believe that Bratislava car. I thought it was retired after hitting the wall for the second time. All of a sudden it pops up, makes it way into the pits with broken steering.

Camera caught the end. Maldonado just put it in the tyre wall.

Looks like a lot of those badly damaged in the pits or retired and not marked as such are now all out. Not too bad a rate of attrition.
Crashtor living up to his name though.

Part of le mans charm!
Right, I’m back on it. Left at 7:45am this morning to pick something up on my bike, which turned into an epic got lost brutally hilly ride through Berkshire in the rain, but was listening to Radio Le Mans in my left ear the whole way. Loved it!
