That's a little unfair
McNish wasn't driving the car that crashed, he merely happened to be in the way.
I've spent the last ten minutes or so trying to find out who/what it was that flew behind him but haven't been able to yet.

In case you haven't found out yet.
The car is Team Courage Oreca, Stephane Ortelli at Monza 2008
Link is confusing as it states Le Mans 2009

Cheers
I figured it was probably a Courage Oreca and had got the name Stephane Ortelli, but couldn't get any further.
Monza eh? It certainly does a good impression of the first chicane down towards Mulsanne...

No problem.
That it may, but Monza it is.
It's the chicane after the Start/Finish straight, Mulsanne has a much longer run in to the chicane with a chicane that precedes it.
In the video above you can see the previous corner is not too distant.
Edit: In addition Pits are visible on the left i.e. Monza

Yeah,
I admit I was having trouble reconciling that side of the track with the side of the straight at Le Mans, but I guess I overlooked it as the chicane itself was a good match. Now you tell me it's Monza I can see it clearly.
Confirmation bias FTL.
