the metal grid that ripped his car apart and dislodged his seat from its runners was one of a few that apparently had not been cemented in, on a new part of the track.

He was damn lucky....

Couldnt believe the damage!! , Through the front splitter like a knife, bent front crossmember, then opened up the floor from front to back and even bent the diff housing.
Larkham even thinks they might have to replace the whole floorpan due to the distortion.... and they want to run it in Darwin.
Someones got a lot of work to do.

The video of the actual incident isn't so spectacular, but a video or a few photos of the damamge would be cool.

Like the others says, looks like a knife slashed open the bottom of the car, it's insane.
