A fatal accident occurred during the opening round of the season, claiming the life of 49-year-old Dutch spectator Andy Gehrmann and injuring nine other spectators. The No. 23 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 of Jann Mardenborough unexpectedly took off at the Flugplatz, hit the barrier and bounced over the catch fencing, into the crowd.[2][3]
