Oh yeah. He's racing for Sumopower in their GTR this year. The fact that he's alive and well make the Merc clip all the funnier :)

This was an accident from the Time Attack at silverstone a couple of years back. The guy was fine inspite of crossing the start/finish line doing 90 mph backwards along the pitwall. The sound of the impact was scary. I really thought he was going to take Alan out as well.
