\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJohor Motorsports Racing driver Yasser Shahin was hit during the second 4 Hours of Sepang race.<\/p>\n

The #66 Johor Motorsports Racing Corvette Z06 GT3.R was running third in the opening half hour of Sunday\u2019s 4 Hours of Sepang when Shahin lost control exiting the third turn.<\/p>\n

It was one of several incidents within the space of a minute, as rain lashed the circuit while the entire field was on slick tyres.<\/p>\n

The first incident captured by cameras involved the #70 Vector Sport RLR Oreca, which went off on its own accord in the hands of LMP2 driver Dan Schneider.<\/p>\n

Then the #6 United Autosports entry followed suit, another LMP2 car in the hands of Phil Fayer. Both cars collided with the inside Armco barrier.<\/p>\n

Moments later, Shahin went off. Despite yellow flags waving, the #10 Manthey Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R slid off and smashed the nose of the stranded Corvette.<\/p>\n

And the carnage continued. The sole United Autosports McLaren 720S spun and narrowly avoided going off the road, but the same couldn\u2019t be said for the #34 Racing Team Turkey Corvette that slid off and clipped the rear of Shahin\u2019s beached car.<\/p>\n

That brought an early end to Shahin\u2019s day, along with that of co-drivers Prince Abu Bakar Ibrahim and Alexander Sims.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There was not a lot to write home about across the two races at the 4 Hours of Sepang for the Australian and New Zealand contingent.<\/p>\n

Griffin Peebles was 11th for DKR Engineering in the first race, and fell short of the podium in the second race with fourth place alongside Mattias Beche and Alexander Mattschull.<\/p>\n

Nick Cassidy finished 14th and 12th across the two races with Inter Europol Competition alongside IndyCar driver Nolan Siegel and Georgios Kolovos.<\/p>\n

Martin Berry claimed seventh and 14th in the Earl Bamber Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage with Jamie Day and Matisse Lismont.<\/p>\n

Jordan Love was ninth and 12th in the #99 Johor Motorsports Racing Corvette he shared with Prince Jefri Ibrahim and Ben Green.<\/p>\n

Before Shahin\u2019s Sunday crash, he wound up 16th in Saturday\u2019s race.<\/p>\n
