Laguna Seca practice delayed after Porsche driver crashes through fence at Zanardi Corkscrew

A severe crash involving a Porsche Sprint Challenge North America car at the newly renamed 'Zanardi Corkscrew' at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on Saturday, September 5, 2026, forced a significant delay to IndyCar practice. Driver Manuel Gil Del Real lost control, went airborne, and tore through the track fencing, landing in the trees. Although he was conscious and airlifted to a hospital, the extensive barrier repairs pushed the start of IndyCar practice back by over two hours and reduced the session to just 25 minutes. The incident occurred during a support race preceding the main IndyCar event, which is the final race of the 2026 season.
