When there is any news about his condition, there will be a press release via the Pirelli World Challenge site.

there has been a patchy update today

http://www.motorsport.com/pwc/news/bent ... er-791052/

Bentley Team Absolute driver Andrew Palmer suffered a head injury in the warm-up session crash last month at Lime Rock Park.

Ahead of the upcoming Pirelli World Challenge Road America race weekend, Andrew Palmer's manager Mike Perry made the following statement on behalf of the Palmer family:

“As Andrew continues to recover, we are all very grateful for the overwhelming support from the entire motorsport community.

“Both Sharon Hospital and Hartford Hospital in Connecticut have been amazing, and we would like to thank the incredible doctors and nurses for everything they have done so far.

“Andrew has demonstrated great strength and shows signs of improvement every day, and, although we are not yet in a position to give an update on Andrew's long-term prognosis, we are remaining positive. Your respect of the family’s privacy at this time is appreciated.”

After many months sadly no sign of improvement in the condition of Andrew Palmer.

There are no new statements on his website, nor the PWC.
