This is the full onboard of the first race of the day for the Classic and Modern Motorsport Club's Tin Tops Series, around the incredibly quick Mallory Park Circuit. I was racing the #175 Supatune Motorsport Ford Fiesta, which had proven to be competitive in the qualifying session and the opening race earlier in the day.

Unfortunately, the race was cut short following a large accident for Neal Gardiner in the #88 Honda Civic.

Classic & Modern Motorsport Club statement: There was a serious accident involving Tin Top driver Neal Gardiner at Mallory Park yesterday. Unfortunately it appears that his brakes failed approaching the hairpin, during the second tin top race. In the ensuing crash Neal was taken to hospital as a precaution due to the severity of the impact.

Everyone at CMMC wishes him a speedy recovery. Because of circuit damage and the medical team going to the hospital, it was decided to cancel the rest of the meeting. The Northern sports and saloons will have their first race today at 0930, but unfortunately our BMR/Caesar Electrical super saloons are unable to run, as they were only scheduled for Saturday. A partial refund will therefore be given to those drivers.

Update from Neal, which he is happy for us to share: Neal was discharged from hospital at 11PM last night and is now back home. Battered and bruised, he is extremely grateful for the people who helped get his car and awning packed up. Also the medical crew and hospital staff who looked after him. His arm is not broken, but very sore.
