GINETTA MEN ON THE MEND AFTER THRUXTON CRASH
The two Ginetta GT Supercup drivers who sustained serious injuries in an accident at Thruxton on the Sunday of the British Touring Car Championship meeting 10 days ago – Mike Brown and Colin White – are both recovering in hospital after the crash.
The shunt occurred in the opening Ginetta GT Supercup race at Sunday lunchtime, the second race for the category over the course of the weekend. The pair made contact on the exit of Church corner and were fired into the barriers on the outside of the track.
White’s car rolled, while Brown’s went heavily into the Armco.
Brown sustained multiple fractures in the accident.
The 51-year-old has broken his ankle, has three pelvic fractures, six broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a thumb.
He also punctured a lung. He is in a stable condition.
White, who is 65, suffered from two broken vertebrae in his back and has also broken his leg above the ankle.
Both were transported from the track to hospital and the race meeting was delayed for over an hour while repairs were made to the barriers.
