    It looks as if he's climbing out of the car in the last photo. I'd say that speaks volumes about Lola and their engineers re: engineering these cars to withstand some incredible loads.

    The update states that he's been released from the hospital; glad to see that he's doing alright.

    I wonder if the tub is salvageable, and if Intersport could pull a Highcroft (see Petit Le Mans) and rebuild in time for the race.

    if they have the tub, they have 3 days to build a car, Highcroft had about 1 day, to build a car from scratch, it was quite a site to see watching them work in the paddock building that car

    Looked like a nasty wreck. Glad he's OK

    Rear suspension failure.

    Will miss Sebring but return racing at Long Beach.
