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! _________________ The road to success is always under construction.

Summerman, he should have landed gracefully as you did in Essex
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... _________________ The road to success is always under construction.
