Default Massive Ginetta Thruxton shunt

Last weekend at the British GT meeting at Thruxton, Bradley Ellis had a massive shunt in his Ginetta G4.

Luckily everyone is ok after that massive crash.

Not really, it's just coincidence.

In fact, look at it in the opposite way, it's the second time the G50 has had a big crash, and both times the driver has been able to escape unaided and got away with relatively minor injuries.

The GT4 class in British GT is made of mostly G50s, and that particular incident was caused by a lot of close running. Both of the G50 big shunts were caused by the cars getting nudged off the track, and the driver has just been a passenger in both.
