Yup not good at all.

Youngest hurt was a 6 year old.

He got a rear wheel on the grass and lost it.

Thanks for sharing this Raj.

Life changing stuff for all involved including the driver .....I adore the 918 but in these circumstances I am not concerned re the damage to the vehicle.

Water filled plastic Rhino Barrier is for traffic management, nothing else and so therefore was in no way adequate to protect the crowd.

Hope everyone pulls through ok - especially the 6 Year old.
