Marks race car found a barrier at castle combe
I did not see it happen just got a pic of it at the side of the track

Haha, I also have a pic of the car on the recovery truck, was a fast impact as it was just after one of the fastest parts, but the car stood up to it very well.

I also have pics of it being lifted on to the truck nice to see that the race car can be lifted that way not so shore i would want to lift the road going one that way and several other pics

As for it faring well from the impact there was something broken on the supention as the wheel assembly was lose when it was lifted by the hiab but one can only expect that from a high speed crash on a light weight chassie

He was having problems in qualifing (in the wet) at tower span it twice and dylans seam to go round fine (but that mite just be mark was pushing a bit to hard)

Ouch! hope Mark is ok. Looks like the car stood up to it pretty well other than the nearside rear which looks like it took the impact.

Mark was fine
A friend spoke to him he was very annoyed with himself

The damage isn't a great deal, he done more damage at donnington park last year when hittign the tyre wall, the chassis is fine main damage is new rear carrier, and top ball joint, the body struts at the rear got bent but the main chassis stood up very well seems its the 2nd high speed impact. The main thing is that mark is walked away fine, annoyed but fine, which shows how strong the cars are.
