All involved were fine, spot the piece of Scimitar bodywork inside the Lotus.

    Wow. Nice series captured there. Really glad they were not hurt too bad. I bet these drivers would love to have copies.

    I think that qualifies for the term "catastrophic shunt."

    Wow, great captures on that crash! The dudes in both of the other cars involved must have been pissed. I would want to kick that dude in the sac. But that is racing!

    lol - see where your coming from BUT to be honest the guy had no control at all, throttle stuck / hit the gravel close to 100mph and then everything is out of his hands, all three got out and walked away albeit with a few tears in their eyes.

    I'd be worried enough about paying for my own mistakes.
    To have to pay for someone elses's would not be something that would go down well at all.

    Probably best i don't ahve enough money to go racing in the first place!

    Did you sell any of the pics to the drivers?
    With the events i do they come to me asking if I got their mishaps but I don't know if the drivers want to be reminded of them.

    Sold a few set's to the drivers involved, 'most' of these guys are prepared for accidents and 'mishaps', when they walk away they just shrug and call the mechanic / body shop to come and pick up the car.

    The real heart breaker's are the likes of the e type jags etc where it's original panels and motors, okay they tend to take it a little more gently on track (though not much) but these things happen.
