During Saturday's opening China GT race in Shanghai, Loek Hartog quickly stopped his Porsche and pulled Ollie Millroy from his burning Ferrari after a major crash. Millroy sustained serious injuries including broken ribs, a fractured collarbone, a broken hand and finger, and a bruised lung. The crash occurred around 20 minutes into the race when Neil Verhagen's BMW lost control and collided with Millroy's Ferrari, which then caught fire.
The race was immediately stopped, and Hartog's on-board footage shows him rushing to Millroy's aid. Hartog used a fire extinguisher to battle the flames and managed to pull Millroy from the cockpit in approximately 49 seconds. Millroy, in hospital, credited Hartog with saving his life and expressed gratitude for the selfless act.
AAI Motorsports, Millroy's team, criticized the emergency response and withdrew from the remainder of the China GT championship.
