I was sadded to hear of this I know Jorge he & I ran an Endro a few years back at TWS. I reached out to Jorge on his cell phone & no answer not surprised.

One of the crew members on another team passed this along, he was basically t-boned by one of the Bentleys. They said he's in stable condition, broken ribs broken shoulder bruised heart punctured lung.

that must have been a hell of an impact to t-bone someone hard enough to launch over a fence and into the woods. any indication of what happened? oil/fluids on the track? or two separate incidents for two cars in the same spot?

thanks for the update on Jorge. I wish him and Andrew a quick and complete recovery.

More the latter, GI. Two separate incidents, unfortunately at the same point on track. Suffice it to say, the trajectories and resting places that the cars took and ended up were not as dramatic as reports have indicated. Still, enough for the injuries to be severe. Prayers for both...

Finally, a little good news. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Andrew.

Jorge De La Torre has underwent surgery to repair several fractures following his severe accident with Andrew Palmer in last weekend’s Pirelli World Challenge event at Lime Rock Park.

The 25-year-old Mexican driver was airlifted to Hartford Hospital following the two-car accident, and initially reported to have had multiple fractures.

Below is a statement from Aston Martin Racing:

“Jorge sustained several fractures which were repaired in surgery on Tuesday at Hartford Hospital.

“He currently remains in hospital where he has demonstrated strength and good spirits this week. Jorge plans to begin rehabilitation as soon as he is released.

“The medical team at Hartford Hospital are monitoring Jorge’s progress and will determine when his release will be granted.

“Jorge and Aston Martin Racing want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers throughout this trying situation. Our thoughts remain with Jorge, Andrew and the Bentley team.”

Further details on Palmer’s condition has not been released, other than he remains in hospital with a head injury.

Sounds like Palmers condition is worse with the head injury. Hope they both make a full and speedy recovery.

Has there been any new news on Palmer. I can't seem to find anything

I have heard from fellow racers who are mutual friends that he remains in a coma. That is purely second hand info however.

I did not hear coma, but I heard it's not good.
