CSL Crash at Silverstone
I was at a track day or test day (can't remember which day!) last week and i understand John Thorne was instructing in a CSL which then crashed after some sort of fluid leak.
Any news on the condition of the occupants? Hope everything is OK... the car look pretty bad and i understand they went to hospital.

Yeah was a big one:
Was passenger in it at the time, hit a concrete wall at 60 mph, car pretty much destroyed but all re-buildable. Certainly glad we had one of our cages in, saved our lives. Driver was knocked out, I broke all the ribs on one side and was pissing blood for a couple of days, kept in hospital overn ight and now just pump0ed up on painkillers. |

Get well soon John from up the road in Olney, sounds like a lucky escape, albeit with some cracked ribs.

Get well soon. Aparently Roger was speaking jibberish after he regained consciousness ............so he was lucky he got back to normal so quickly |

Get well soon John. Saw it on PGT last week.
Jamie's race car was a modified M3 rather than a CSL iirc. Shame none the less.
