If so this could be a well-known crash, and the driver and race identified? -- Last edit: 2010-06-28 14:44:29

The green with white stripe livery is from 1984, so this narrows down the possibilities. In the british rounds of the ETCC, all three Jags finished the Donington race, and only one crashed at the Silverstone event.
