Elvington today

Was anybody at the Elvington trackday today?

Not sure what was on, but as I was passing, a Fire truck and Ambulance went screaming in and there looked to be a car overturned on the track.

I'm just curious as to what happened, that's all!

A guy rolled a fiesta. the track was closed for ages while they sorted him out. I dont think he was seriously injured.
