Very lucky girl - was not injured!

[The Black Flash]

'kin 'ell

[boobles]

Holy feck! Lucky girl indeed.

[Jez64]

Missed the Megane race, but was stood near that spot earlier in the day.

Just goes to show how well built they are.

[Blue Meanie]

Wimmin drivers! Glad she's OK!

[mattikake]

Woah! We saw the afermath but missed the crash - we were at Club. All we saw as just a rollcage being transported back to the pits!

[Pothole]

presumably that was a comms lead which yanked her head back and prevented her from getting away from the vehicle. Could have had some serious consequences if it had been alight!

It's only a stereo jack plug - if she wanted to get away in a hurry she'd barely have noticed it, would have pulled straight out/broken off with a yank.

What if there were no Yanks around..?

It's designed to, here's one in the pits earlier in the day.



Underneath the plastic bodywork is a full on race car chassis.
