Ouch, hope he's OK.

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.

I hope so. Jon really was lucky on this one tho....

glad Jon is ok, looks like a nasty wreck

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 :)

Rear suspension failure.

Will miss Sebring but return racing at Long Beach.
