Overview
- The crash occurred on Friday when Wood clipped the inside wall at Forrest’s Elbow and was launched into the outside concrete barrier during a push lap on new tyres.
- Wood walked from the car and was cleared by medical staff after an impact recorded at about 42G, and he apologised to his team at the circuit.
- The No.2 Walkinshaw TWG Toyota Supra suffered heavy front‑right damage and was towed back to pit lane for major repairs.
- Team principal Carl Faux said common Gen3 chassis and driveline parts make repairs more straightforward but the team must still assess body and structural damage to decide if the car can rejoin qualifying.
- If repairs are not completed in time the team could miss the 4:10pm qualifying session, a result that would harm the crew’s grid chances and add pressure on mechanics over the rest of the weekend.
