I was gutted to hear about this

Going by the stories I've been reading about the gearbox change, I'm suprised they're not shipping a new body shell over, lol.

Good luck all involved

Seeing as it's about a Ford, you should be grateful it isn't in "other marques"

Taken from Team 132 site

Retired cars Saturday 08.05 in Morocco.

Reyland Cosworth
Red Ferrari 360
Dodge Viper

It was the Looney Cosworth that crashed in Marrakech this morning. Team 132 was in front after leaving Marrakech at 8 pm local time today (08.06.2004). There were one or two cars between Team 132 and the Looney Cosworth when it left the road and disappeared in clouds of dust. Parts were shattered over a large area. Team 132 was the first persons to arrive and help them. Fortunately the car was built as a rally car and both persons are ok, circumstances considered. The co-pilot felt unwell and bleed from his nose, so he was taken to a hospital nearby. The car will most likely be shipped back too England.


We do not know the reason for the accident.

astraboy

Thats bad news.
Hope the car and passengers are ok.

Redkop, I believe Mr H was not wearing his harness at the time and was thrown out the car !!! Glad they are ok, could have been very nasty

Redkop

No it wasn't Martin, ScoobyK. According to Marco on PF, it was Porkie who wasn't. Just glad both are ok though

Glad they are OK, shame about the car.

Redkop

As bad luck would have it, it was bad timing that Porkie had his harness off, he had just released it, to lean forward and get his camera
