JAMES Golding has walked away from a savage crash during the eighth hour of the Meguiar’s Bathurst 12 Hour.
The Blanchard Racing Team driver spun the #268 Team BRM Audi at Sulman Park and making heavy left-rear contact with the wall.
The car briefly rode the wall after the impact and a flash fire broke out, with the car sliding to a stop after bumping the wall on the inside of the circuit.
V8 Sleuth understands a spectator is receiving medical treatment in the wake of the crash, which sent parts scattering beyond the concrete wall.
It marked the car’s second crash of the day, having lost 39 laps making repairs from car owner Mark Rosser’s spin at Skyline this morning.
“I mean the first thing is that Jimmy’s alright, that’s the main thing,” Rosser told the broadcast.
“The car’s probably toast, I think. We’re going to have to see what we can do for the rest of the year (for GT World Challenge Australia).”
Golding hopped out of the car under his own power and has been taken to the circuit medical centre for checks.
A long Safety Car period followed the crash due to the extensive clean-up required, including mopping up a sizable fluid trail from where the Audi hit the wall to where it came to rest.
