I thought I'd post a series of pics that I got through the grape vine...

 

They were taken on a phone by someone at the recovery site so they're not the best. This is an extract from what that person wrote in that email:

 

"What we can figure is that Paul came over a sweeping right hand bend over a crest at over 150kph, he lost the back of the car which hit into the bank and rolled him a number of times over 200m! Both Driver and Co-driver where fine other than a burn on the hand from trying to move the exhaust from a fuel hose!! The car was Car 29 a Subaru Liberty RS competing in the Subaru RS Challenge"

I am so impressed with the efforts of the roll cage. It is amazing how great they are.

Good to hear they both got out ok, roll cage served its purpose..

That's pretty scary, I hope they can get back into the car and push just as hard as soon as possible.. sucks when you get shaken up.. takes some time to build the courage up again to perform well.
