    Terrible news from Duxford test session - Test driver Maria de Villota badly injured.
    Here's the link

    Shocking stuff. Here's hoping it's not as serious as it sounds, but doesn't look too good. Fingers crossed.

    Thought it was the Girl from Oban till I read the News story a few hours ago on the BBC. Wish the Girl all the best hope she comes through it.

    She's now conscious, but no further news on her condition - under assessment. Seems a very strange accident, possibly technical fault, as I don't see her losing control in these circumstances at relatively low speed.
