Mark Hales vs David Piper in court

Interesting read re the damage down to Piper's 917 engine by Hales.

Watching from a distance I don't see how the case could be proved one way or another. The verdict will be interesting.

Was the journalist working freelance? Should he have had liability cover?

One man's word against another.

Did it slip out of gear or did Mr. Hales miss a gear? I fail to see how Mr. Piper can prove his case.

Interesting though.

Did the "You bend it - You mend it!" rule apply to David Piper with the 917 he crashed whilst filming "Le Mans"?
