Yup that was on Monday.
Presumably not too bad then.

It appears it was a fire rather then a crash. The Crapo T1--- sorry Caparo T1 seems to have suddenly burst into flames. It uses lots of FI technology apart from the built in fire extinguisher system obviously.
It apparently fails the 2 sets of golf clubs in the boot industry standard

Yup it caught fire, he parked it, and got out.
Wonder if you get personalised Nomex overalls when you buy one?

I wonder if Hamsters crash somehow started a ratings war based on almost-fatal injuries. I can see the insurance companies getting really nervous about next season. It won't be long before you see test reviews done with cameras panning across wall posters.

He couldn't have been that badly burnt.

He was released the same day and spent the night at his home in Oxfordshire.
He saw a burns specialist again on Wednesday morning.
It has not been revealed how fast Mr Plato was travelling when the accident began.
Despite his injuries he has vowed to race at this Sunday's final touring car race meeting.

My ex schoolmate, we were classmates in secondary school and in his defence he's quite a nice bloke really.

I think that's an awesome car.
Completely impractical of course and hardly the last word in reliability (to put it mildly), but I'm pleased things like this can still be done in the world and even more pleased that they can be done in Britain!

No he's not and yes I am normaly, but seeing disabled children getting ignored by an inflated ego is something I wont ignore.

I'd rather judge him so quickly to be honest. You might be right, you might be wrong. Who knows what his concern or priority was at that exact moment.
I'd much rather have been ignored by him than have harm wished on me by you.

A mate of mine tried to get an autograph from him a few years ago and was totaly blanked. Mate said he was more interested it getting his hair looking good for a photo shoot on the pit lane. Said mate saw him a year later and mentioned in jest if his hair was looking good and got a scowl that would sour milk!!!! Total *****!!!
