bad crash at the silverstone classic

There's been a very bad crazy at the start of the pre-66 grand prix car race at the Silverstone classic.

judging by the activity on track, i think this guy could do with some prayers.

helicopter now moving to the medical centre i think. Which is where the driver was taken about 10 mins ago

Its just been announced that racing will resume when possible.

[pedromorgan]

Helicopter just left.

[pedromorgan]

Racing about to resume.

[pedromorgan]

Should have added that there has been no announcement of which car or driver but i think that's to be expected.
one of those occasions you really don't want to get the name wrong.

i am reading the fact that they are resuming racing as good news. (not just because i want to watch more racing!

[pedromorgan]

Racing underway

Dusty, the answer to your question is in the second half of my opening post.

Very sorry to see the statement. Obviously its not a surprise for me but when they resumed racing again I was thinking they wouldn't be doing that if his injuries were that bad.

I remembered reading somewhere that a driver had died racing a mini not to long ago (also at Silverstone?) and the racing was quietly abandoned for the day. I was expecting the same to happen today.

The only other thing I want to add is what a great job the marshals did all weekend. Really superb.
