Hmmmm, not good, if that was me on the Rescue team I'd of had the roof off and done a proper casualty extrication, judging by the roll and sudden stop that sand/shingle gives a spinal injury could of happened. The guy's not even got a spinal collar on, but then again, I wasn't there so maybe I don't know the full extent of the incident.
Hope all are allright though.

I was a few cars behind it with pon in his mr2 when it happened.

I hope both the driver and passenger were ok but it was the second or third corner of the out-lap, IMO he should have had a bit more sense to let the car and more importantly tyres warm up a bit before gunning it through craner.

Unfourtunatly that ended the session and my only chance for a trip round donno

It happened right in front of where we sat. He taken the bend too fast, span out, hit the gravel at a funny angle and rolled.

That bend where he done it was very decieving!!!

Of all the places to write your nova off, in front of a bunch of ford fans has to be the worst!

shame, he was going quite well beforehand from what i saw of him.

Hope both occupants are ok.

No it didn't, it just delayed us going back out for a bit, got to finish the rest of the session after the Nova got towed in, and it turned out to be one of the best sessions in the end IMO.......... patience is a virtue

We did wait around for a fair while then the announcer called for the next group to get ready so I naturally assumed to was abandoned. Oh well, obviously not meant to be
