During the W Series qualifying, there was a serious crash. There was a major incident at Eau Rouge and no less than six drivers were involved in the crash. Several media outlets now report that the drivers are okay.

Dutch driver Beitske Visser was also involved in the mega-crash. It remained silent for a long time and no images of the crash were shown, but the qualification resumed. Now, news is coming in from several sources that all drivers involved are doing well.
