v8s are now qualifying, so police havent as yet claimed the track, which is a positive sign for Porter. Mind you, only if he is declared at the track. im not sure if the police have to survey the track if the driver is declared aware from the circuit.

Lets just hope for the best, especially this weekend.,

from here ::

http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,...-23770,00.html

Quote:
Clark was taken to Bathurst hospital, where he is reported to be in a serious but stable condition.
Quote:
Gemma Jones, a reported for The Daily Telegraph who witnessed the accident on the race's big screens, said: "A third car had nowhere to go, lost control and slid sideways into one of the stricken cars.

"The first marshal to one of the cars appeared to check the driver's pulse.

"He was unable to open the doors and motioned to other marshals nearby that he needed the 'jaws of life' to get the driver out.

"That driver (Clark) was then taken by ambulance to the race control medical centre and then to hospital in a Careflight helicopter."

I'm not saying he's dead, just giving everyone a link to their story.

At the time of the crash, the channel 10 pit guys went as spoke to the M Sport crew, who did say that they managed to get a few words from Mark over the radio. Hopefully thats a good sign.

Yeah, change it asap...really quite an irresponsible thread to start (at least with such an alarmist title) - not knowing the details and all...

But yes, lets hope for the best and a full recovery from all involved

Marcus, is it possible to delete the posts that may intimate there has been a fatality and replace the opening post with something a little more appropriate?

Yep I just saw it on the ch 9 link, it looked better than a nose in smash.

The first post made my heart jump out of my chest. Let's use more discretion in the future.

It looks very serious but hopefully both drivers will recover, especially mark since he seemed to take the worst of it.

Sky News have Will Hagon on the 4.00pm saying they are both critical and they are waiting on further news.

I'm sure he said Clark has gone to Sydney but I may have this mixed up.
