Great event... was there with my ride... Honda Civic 1.6iVT with NSX front brakes Did two laps myself with lots of unexperienced drivers (they trying to corner on cold tyres)
Great day untill a red NSX with BBS rims was brought back by a truck... OMG...
Hopefully MvM is alright... did not here anything from no one if the driver / co-driver were unharmed...
I have spoken/met MvM, and he has some injury's.
We have decided that any information/pictures will be posted by himself in the comming days if he decides to, or not.
Good times at the Spa - Franchorchamps circuit, waiting to enter the track for a parade lap, with in the distance 'au rouge'.
nice NSX weekend at Spa , up to the accident of MVM . I hope Maarten was not hurt ! Maarten , the best wishes for you and a fast recovery !!!
Thank you very much to all to post the pictures from the NSX Days !

Bad surprise for me too, Maarten! Hope your injuries are not heavy - the NSX is usualy a safe car (I totalled one some years ago and had not even a little injury).
Maybe you could post what and where it happened when you're okay again.
Hi Guys,
Racelike the NSXDays were perfect. I had a fast and stable car. Everything was right (OK, I had a stop and go penalty for not following the right line at Eau Rouge).
But unfortunatly the weekend ended like it shouldn't. The crash of Maarten on top of Eau Rouge was not how you like to end a wonderfull weekend.
At this moment he is still in hospital at Vervier. He has probably broken his ninth disc (his back). Today or tomorrow he will go home, but he has to lie down for at least one month (with a demobiliser for his back). The doctors said that he will recover completely if he takes good care of himself.
The NSX is probably totalled. But that is only a car. Maarten has servived the crash and that is the main thing. Only when he is recoverd the material will be important and that is the bad thing about it. The NSX was almost the most important thing for Maarten in his live. As we know him. He lives for a great deal just for his car.
For now. Maarten, I hope you will recover soon. And keep on driving.
I'm sorry too to hear MvM had an accident, I hope you'll get
better soon.
I couldn't be in Spa because my driver's license was taken from
me for 15 days (because of speeding).

Our hearts are with you. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. (I'm sorry if this sounds like a sick joke but that's the common expression in American English.)
Best Wishes Maarten - sorry to hear of your unfortunate incident However I'm pleased to hear from Gerard's report above that it appears, despite an uncomfortable month ahead, your recovery is assured. Don't sweat the loss of the hardware - its only that; my wife has a great knack for always making me see the bright side of things, as opposed to the negative - despite the loss, I'm sure you will look back as time goes on to appreciate you can look back on it!
I hope someone can hook you up with a laptop so you can enjoy these messages from 'Prime, as well as all the other events.
Very sorry to hear about your accident as it happened after I left Spa. Wish you a speedy and full recovery so you can once again enjoy life in your nsx
Dear Maarten, I am shocked to hear about your accident. Please take good care of yourself so you can have a full recovery and return to two of your favorite hobbies, photography and the NSX. I have many of your photos in my archives, and look forward to seeing more. Everyone is wishing you the best.
