Apparently not all cars left looking the same as they do in the pictures posted in this thread.

Now we know the extent of Marcus's injuries I will now post some pictures of the incident.

This is one I took showing his path off the track and he then obviously threw the car sideways to wipe of speed but sadly the sand trap didnt slow him down to much (it does show he did actually go through the gravel trap , there was some rumour that he missed it completely)

there are several pictures out there of the impacted car (on the net) but this is a quick one that I snapped from behind the wall.

The next 3 photo's were taken by forum Member OLDSKOOL (who sadly is having troubles getting onto to ten tenths) but these are taken from the pitlane.

seconds after impact

Marcus manages to get the door open himself

and the rescue team arrives on the scene

marcus · 13 Mar 2009, 01:34 (Ref:2414665)

very nasty injuries indeed that Marcus has suffered.

I wish him the very best in his recovery and hope the team can fix the car and get it and Marcus himself back on track asap.

Makes you wonder about if there is a need for tyre barriers in front of the concrete wall. It's obviously a high impact zone by the fact that they put a sand trap in front of it, and judging by the crash, it wasn't a glancing blow.

QR used to have a similar deal at turns three and six there there were concrete walls just on the far side of sand traps that could, and were hit by cars... lessons were learned and those walls now have tyres protecting them.

I saw the footage on sports tonight after the accident that evening and I found it quite hard to watch especially as you could hear Marcus's cries of pain whilst he was still in the car. Not very nice at all. Reminds you of how dangerous motorsport can be.

Best of luck to him, hope he makes a full and speedy recovery. On ST they said the car was destroyed, is it actually repairable, if anyone knows??

Trevor · 13 Mar 2009, 03:06 (Ref:2414685)

I have seen a pic of him in his hosptial bed, he was smiling with a thumbs up for the camera, but there is a lot of pain involved.

Pro Racer · 13 Mar 2009, 03:30 (Ref:2414694)

get well soon Marcus.

Thanks to those that contributed all the pictures and updates from the test.

I believe they used the jaws of life to cut him out of the car, more than likely meaning the car is destroyed.

peckstar · 13 Mar 2009, 06:42 (Ref:2414726)

which would explain why it took an hour to remove the car from the track and why theer was a cover over the car when they removed it and dragged it back to pits and put it back on their transporter

Trevor · 13 Mar 2009, 08:59 (Ref:2414762)

The Lukas rescue gear was used, but I am not sure if it was on the car or the roll cage.

dermy · 13 Mar 2009, 09:00 (Ref:2414764)

Well the car hit the wall pretty hard but by the look of it the front seems pretty straight but then again you don't know until you take it apart. The cage around the seat has been cut away and it was a big job to get it into the truck. Marcus is in good sprits and can't wait to get going again.

dermy · 13 Mar 2009, 10:43 (Ref:2414811)

Does anyone have the footage from the Ten news or sports tonight about the crash? Any help would be great!

here is the ex FPR car I was talking about , number 26 not listed on the Fujitsu series entry list and no name on the car.

Named as being Jonathan Webb by MeN this evening... to run in Gulf Western colours for MWR.

Brad Lowe is in the best of the 3 MWR chassis... wonder if he will make the best use of it?
