From P1 site
During Sunday’s Powerboat P1 Evolution Class endurance race in Gothenburg, Sweden, an incident involving Lucas Oil Outerlimits resulted in American pilots Nigel Hook and Joe Sgro being taken to Sahlgrenska hospital, Gothenburg, for precautionary observations, where they were both witnessed talking and comfortable.
Lying in second position behind leaders 2B1 Furnibo on lap ten, Lucas Oil Outerlimits appeared to barrel roll to the outside at the first turn at the South-West end of the Langedrag racecourse.
Rescue divers from the Bergamo Scuba Angels arrived at the scene in a matter of seconds and cleared the pilots from the canopy before Messrs Hook and Sgro were escorted to shore.
Powerboat P1 Chairman and CEO Asif Rangoonwala said: “Everyone at Powerboat P1 is delighted that both Joe and Nigel are safe. Unfortunately these things happen in motorsport racing and both pilots are amongst the best in the business, so we all wish them a speedy recovery.”
