Ouch Indeed! I saw it on replay during the race yesterday and it didn't look nice, I'm happy he was declared ok afterwards!

Summerman, he should have landed gracefully as you did in Essex Wink

Glad he's ok; remember kids, the final speed he was doing when he actually hit that wall was not that fast, plus the barriers are a little softer than the front quarter of a Volvo emerging from a side turning.

Yeah but still looked awful, just body and limbs flying everywhere... I can't even begin to think how horrible it would look if it was indeed a quarter of a Volvo...
