It hit very hard but thanks to the cage and impact wall the essentials remained intact ....ish
Thank god we put the radiator in the back.
I would like to thank everyone who helped get it driveable again, especialy Fishmonkey, who worked in the dark by torch light until the early hours....I owe you bigtime fella!
The impact was enough to shove the turbo into the block, bending the manifold by 15 degs or so , which gave us dramers re-aligning pipework. ..
Amazingly the shell structure is undamaged, a testament to the cage which travels right out to the front indicators internally.
Thankfully all three cars from our camp running for the MLR scored well and I poped my 9 sec cherry on its first outing in Time Attack Trim , closely followed by the orange car with a 10.1
Thanks again Fish for your efforts! They were worth so much.

The car is with AutoBahn in Blackpool and has been measured on their jig today and has thankfully been given the all clear on the shells integrity. It requires a new slam pannel, both headlights and front wings. The bonnet hunched on the top speed run so will be replaced aswell. The rest of the damage is to the turbo, manifold and intercooler, which looks like they took the hit.
The underside is also being stripped and stoneguarded and repainted as it hasn't faired well to the trips into the gravel........
The strength in that car is truley unbelievable!
