Jesus! When that left tyre went the car just turned straight left those guys never stood a chance of catching that. Hope the driver was okay he looked a little worse for wear.

Jerry was sparked out for a couple of minutes, he had a couple of fractures to the arm and cuts on his head, but he did walk away from it and managed to make the finish of the event in Cannes the following day. The passenger was fine.

The car hit a bump in the road, the back wheels left the ground but the car didnt land straight, the angle and speed shot it straight off the road into a ditch/boulder which put the viper into the cartwheels. Both were lucky to walk away from this and the car didnt finish dirty side up.

Saw that clip on the Gumball program on Sky on Friday night, they were real lucky to walk away from that.

How fast was he going?

Thanks
