The roll cage did what it was suppose to do, protect the drive.

How you feeling today mate, hope your not hurt/injured too badly.

I spoke with Ade at Croft who told me of this awful news.
Thank god that cage was in there mate it certainly did what it was supposed to.

Scary thought what can happen in these monsters we strap ourselves into.

Hope your not aching or injured mate. Speak soon.

I am fine today, slightly stiff neck.

Every panel and piece of glass, broken and dented.

Engine should be okay.

Yep, thats fooked!! Glad you walked away from it mate, every track car should have a roll cage really.

What actually happened? Because to get that much air you much have been travelling fairly quickly! I know in a 400 hp car that isn't hard, but that's on a bend isn't it?

Travelling down the bottom straight passing a couple of cars, then breaking to slot back into the filter for the hair pin. The rear wheels locked as I jumped on the breaks which slew me sidways into the gravel (100mph approx) the gravel then flipped the car into the tyre wall.

good luck with it mate

Very glad to hear you are ok Simon after seeing those pictures

That certainly proves that any track car should have a cage. Most certainly saved you from serious injury or very possibly death.
