At the GT China race venue, a racing accident occurred, the vehicle caught fire, rescue personnel responded slowly, and driver Ollie Millroy was seriously injured.
After the accident, Phantom Global Racing driver Luke Hartog stopped the car and got out, rescuing Ollie Millroy who was trapped in the burning race car.
After the accident escalated, several teams and drivers announced they will no longer participate in GT China events until the related safety issues are addressed, with some teams stating they will permanently withdraw from Chinese collective competitions.
The day after the accident, Wu Yanzu publicly criticized GT China for delaying the release of the red flag, the rescue system's failure, and said the organizers did not acknowledge the mistake or take responsibility.
Netizens reported that the organizer offered a daily salary of 3000 yuan for safety officers, but after multiple layers of subcontracting through recruiters and security companies, the two on‑site staff each received only 60 yuan per day.
