There's been a second serious accident at the Bathurst 1000, this time involving the veteran New Zealand driver Paul Radisich.
The 46-year-old has broken his ankle but medical staff believe he has suffered no other serious injury.
The incident happened in practice when Radisich first clipped the wall at about 180kmh before skipping across the sandpit at speed and hammering the safety barrier head on.
It's thought the throttle was stuck on the HSV Dealer Team Commodore and it's unlikely the car will be repaired in time for today's race.
Two years ago Radisich was involved in another serious crash at Mt Panorama and had to be airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, including a broken ankle.
