I just picked this from Goodwood's website:
"Christopher Smith - Glover Trophy
In the early stages of the Glover Trophy race for 1.5-litre Grand Prix cars on the Sunday (Sept 5) of the Goodwood Revival, Christopher Smith from Kinver, West Midlands, suffered a substantial impact in his 1961 Lotus-Climax 18 at Madgwick corner. He fractured one ankle and broke the tibia of his other leg.
Chris, head of Westfield Sports cars, is a highly experienced driver having raced extensively since the 1960s.
The complex chassis structure of the Lotus’s nose caused complications for the crew tasked with extracting Chris from the car, which took longer than expected (Racing was eventually restarted around 45 minutes later).
The hospital reports that Chris is comfortable and making good progress."
Good news I guess.
