1971 Trevor Taylor's Leda F5000 Crash at Oulton Park +1
Final "exotic" crash items from the Kahn book, Trevor had at least 2 major F5000 accidents, the other one happened in Austria, in a Surtees TS5, in which he by own account flipped 5-6 times up a bank, which he'd hit at 170mph. Not sure what year or track that one was. Frankly, Kahn might have been a bit more specific about the actual events.

Yeah, that must be it, thanks for specifying that.
