Going for it in the wet, probably not the brightest thing to do, but looking at the road, very tempting I'd say!

They might have to sort out the tracking first....

At a guess - maybe someone from Dubai isn't used to soaking wet North European roads?
Looking at it - if you disregard the obvious damage to the left wheel, wishbones, steering arm and nosecone, the rest looks fairly straight. Oh, and a
new radiator, I think!
I'd guess that following a chassis check, and replacement of those parts, it may well be fit for the road again.

I doubt the chassis attached to this wheel is okay!!
Have you seen how far back it's pushed????
Apparantly the big rocky thing on the left did the damage (the car was just dragged into the sliproad to avoid another accident)
ps you should definately do a Tour7 tour @ some point. Great fun. Just be careful who you share a room with. After all the drinking comes much snoring
from some of the drivers!!!!!

Yeah, but there's always quicker - so "quite quick" will suffice
