Adrian Newey is racing in the Ginetta G50's today, he just spun and instead of turning the wheel so he spun onto the concrete run-off, he let the car drift back onto the racing line and was hit in the side/corner of the passenger side.
Race got red flagged but he is still in the car with medics around. These cars are pretty safe and solid but it was a hefty impact.

Pretty tame in all truth.... if it had not been Newey / someone famous, then we would never have even heard about it. Hardly newsworthy.
He is better with his drawing board than he is as a driver.
