China GT organizers issued a statement after the Shanghai crash and fire.
They said the overall setup “met the requirements for a national-level competition,” but “detailed management” needs improvement.
They apologized, wished Oliver Millroy a speedy recovery, and thanked Loek Hartog for arriving first.
What they did not lead with:
On lap 7, cars 37 and 33 collided and hit the side/fuel-tank area of Millroy’s No.91 Ferrari. It burst into flames. Millroy was trapped.
Hartog stopped his own car, found an extinguisher, fought the fire, and pulled him out.
Rescue took about 49 seconds. Millroy later wrote he is alive “entirely thanks to one man” — five broken ribs, broken collarbone, broken hand and finger, bruised lung.
His team, FIST Auto, accused organizers of serious failure in emergency response, said the live broadcast claimed the driver got out by himself, and withdrew from the series until there is a full, independent, public investigation.
Official line: configuration was fine; management can be finer.
On track: a competitor did the rescue.
