Sadly spotted this 106GTi being towed back to paddock after a dramatic roll in the gravel.

Hope the driver is ok.

Looks like the roll cage did its job.
Nice car though.

Surprised the marshals didn't cut the roof to stop it being used again. Roll cage has probably prevented the driver from being crushed.

Roll your car on the road and the fire brigade will cut the roof

They only cut it off if someone complains of neck or back pain

if its on the road thats different - how many people run a cage on a road car. If a marshal does it to a car, with a cage in, after rolling on the track then thats tantamount to criminal damage.
Like i said, id kill the fucker if that was done to my car.

thats what i thought, cutting the roof for the sake of it is pretty stupid, just a waste of time of the firemen

Yep that's spot on,think twice about letting crash victims sit in your car if you roll up on the scene afterwards
