at over $100,000 according to a press release they just issued:

Such was the impact on Bargwanna’s car that it was severely damaged and will require the front and rear chassis rails to be replaced.

It is the second time in as many years Larkham Motor Sport will endure a major rebuild following an incident between two drivers that could have been avoided. During the opening round of the Championship in 2004 Mark Winterbottom was one of several drivers to endure $100,000 damage when Paul Dumbrell and Cameron McConville collided at over 200kmh triggering a multi car pile up.

“It is the second time in a matter of years that we have had to endure the heartbreaking and tiring process of rebuilding a $300,000 race car because a driver has simply made the wrong decision,” said Larkham.

“Right now we have nine days to repair our car for the next round of the Championship, after an extremely long weekend at Bathurst the crew got back to the workshop last night to begin the process.

“In an estimate I believe the damage to our car will be around the $100,000 mark and very lucky not to be a write-off.”
