Hit wall at 180km/h. We still have the car and raced it for years afterwards, same chassis and engine as well.
New cage built by the same man who built this cage, life saver.

Holy cow dude, that was a massive hit. Looks like the front clip of the car hitting first, instead of the door first, may have also assisted in saving your life. Not to mention, that was one springy wall. Glad you were alright.
