New news from Sky News: A reporter said that medics are optimistic he'll make a good recovery, then pointed out that they didn't say full recovery. 2 Emails were shown, one on 8th September saying "Get the presenter up to speed then see if he can break the record". The other on 13th September saying "James May has backed out due to diary plans and has been replaced by Richard Hammond. If he can't break the record then The Stig will step in". The computer generated crash video was also shown again and they said James arrived at dinner time in his Rolls Royce.
He has a significant brain injury. Medics at Leeds hospital are very optimistic he will surive. No real info on his brain injury though.
Lots of pics and footage of the broken car have been released. I also saw a computer generated clip of the accident on Sky News. There's also been a mobile video aired of Richard Hammond doing an earlier run.
Don't believe anything said in the paper. It also said he was going 315 mph and he hosts Petrolheads, along with several other false claims.
BREAKING NEWS FROM ITV NEWS: Just watched ITV News. Richard Hammond wasn't actually supposed to be driving. James May was originally supposed to be driving but several weeks before backed out, leaving Hammond to do the job. There was also another mobile clip of him on an earlier run aired and footage of a helicopter view showing Richards path of destruction.
Hope Hammond gets well soon. Twice in 2 months now that i've woken up and my mum has told me something i didn't like. First it was Steve Irwin, now it's this. I really hope he's OK. That also means they probarbly replace Hammond for crap Tiff Needell at MPH now.
It was JC, Hamster and Captain Slow at MPH. I was excited about seeing all of them but now they'll replace him.
I've actually stood next to Hamster and got his autograph at a trucking event. That memory keeps coming back right now.
Hopefully he gets better. I think he'll pull through.
Well that's going to take 20 minutes to save, and WMP won't play AVI's without saving them so, I think i'll stick with the good ol "what's that" question?
I race for Oxygen Sim Racing and Tristan (Who I think you were talking about) races in Triple 7 Racing. I'd say mine is more popular though purely for the reason that Tristan is in T7R
