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.

driver & passenger were taken to hospital, think they had cuts & bruises ( one had a broken arm i think ??) luckily they had a full cage in car so were ok. evidently rolled 4/5 times. ouch !!





I'd rather be scared to death, than bored to death !
