00:001 and 2 seem to be in a relatively comfortable margin, certainly first place.

00:05First place at this point in time, looks like it might be in the hands of the man

00:09who's got the number one plate, Lenel Janssen.

00:13Further back, is that a change for the lead of this group? I think it is.

00:19Joko Smit might have just been overtaken there.

00:22Oh, that's a big one in the background. That's a huge one in the background.

00:26That is a big one. That's Miele Stewart and by the looks of it, I think that might be Marcel...

00:33No, it might be James Carter. It's Carter.

00:36James Carter with a massive crash, clipping the wheel there and flying over the other stricken car down there,

00:44the 86 machine of Miele Stewart.

00:46So we only caught the back end of it.

00:49I don't know if Paul can give us a replay at some point if he can,

00:51but right now it'll definitely, probably going to, probably going to be a safety car scenario

00:57because of where those cars are on the exit of turn two.

01:02In fact, it's gone straight to red.

01:04Red flag coming out due to the severity of that crash.

01:08We won't show the replay, of course, until we've seen the driver climb out the car and he's okay.

01:12There he is. He's okay.

01:13So that is confirmation.

01:15And you can see how unhappy he is, having landed in the dirt there, the 90 car of James Carter.

01:22So Carter and Miele Stewart coming together under braking into turn two.

01:27I'm not quite sure who the protagonist is in that, but both of them are a little shaken but not stirred.

01:34Once again, Hanley, Doc, and the medical team on call almost instantaneously to check if the driver's okay.

01:42They both had Hans devices on, so there shouldn't be too much of an issue there, hopefully, for the drivers.

01:49I don't think there'd be too much issue in terms of Miele's injuries,

01:54but because the car rolled, they'll be a little bit more concerned about James Carter

01:58and definitely want to check everything okay with him.

02:00It's arguably one of the best medical teams in the country when it comes to circuit racing,

02:05so you can't ask for a better team to be in attendance there.

02:13He's certainly going to feel that in the morning.

02:16And going to pop this car back onto its wheels.

02:22Three of them, not four.

02:25And how many laps did they complete there, Paul?

02:27I think if I refresh mine, how many have you got?

02:30Five done.

02:31So they haven't done enough to be full race classified.

02:36They're going to probably have to keep them on the grid and let them restart.

02:40Five done with Lendl Janssen, MD Bester, Johan Goos, Vaughan Hills, Van der Berg, Peter Hills for Mark,

02:47Brandon Hills, Sean van der Linde, and then Jaco Schmidt.

02:50And then just behind Jaco, that's where the chaos reigned between Miele and James Carter.

02:55So while they're waiting on the grid there, let's have a look at that replay.

03:24It's only the tail end of it.

03:27Yeah, it's definitely James Carter.

03:29Carter flying over the nose cone there of Miele.

03:33And then ending up on the tyre barrier, which then flipped the car over onto its side.

03:38And it's basically on the side and where the driver would be sort of in the sand.

03:42Fortunately, with that roll cage that's built into that car and the way the cockpit is designed on a Formula V,

03:49it's quite a safe cockpit that they do race in.

03:53And that's the reason why we were able to see James Carter extricate himself from the car

03:58before we needed the medical or martial intervention to get him out of harm's way.

04:03There it is in the background.

04:04Look at that.

04:06It's just wheels clipping.

04:07In single seaters, if you clip wheels under braking, it's going to end up in tears.

04:11You can just ask MD Bester about that.

04:14He was a lot worse for wear than what James Carter was.

04:17But still, Carter upside down at one point in time there.

04:20Slamming into the tyre barrier, into Castle Corner, and ending up exactly as you see him right there.

04:25So, a big moment there for James Carter.

04:28And, well, he looks okay.

04:31As I said, I think he's going to be a little bit shaken but not stirred.

04:35I can see Miele trying to get back into his car.

04:37They might be able to get his car back on track, actually.

04:40I don't think he's sustained too much damage.

04:42But certainly Carter's car out with a broken left front end.

04:47And probably a quite shaken driver.
