The two Holdens collided at high speed – with Premat’s rear impacting squarely on Courtney’s door, throwing the two cars in the air and scattering debris everywhere.
Premat responded instantly, helping extract Courtney through the passenger’s side of his car.
Courtney was eventually able to limp away with assistance and later the medical team cleared him of serious injuries.
He was in good spirits and forgiving of Premat’s misdemeanour.
“I didn’t see Alex coming, so I couldn’t brace myself,” Courtney said of the incident in the opening race of the weekend’s penultimate round of the championship.
“I spoke with Alex in the medical car and said he had a tyre go down. He didn’t mean to do that, no one would, so it’s just unfortunate.”
Very nasty crash. Another testament to the strength of these cars. Glad James is relatively OK.
