Support thread for Possum Bourne

Please register any thoughts here. I will pass this page on to his website.


For me, one of the friendliest guys in Aus/NZ motorsports, not to mention talented, is a complete tragedy.

Peter,

Get well soon! I'm sure the whole of New Zealand and Australia is with me when I say that. We'll be praying for you, and hope that you get through this okay and are still able to conquer motorsport the way you have.

Go hard Possum.

Dave.

He was recc'ing a course for a hillclimb in a Subaru Forester at about 60kph and got hit head on by a Jeep Cherokee coming the opposite way at about the same speed...apparently went down a bank too.

Currently I believe two broken legs and a broken arm amongst other things, and he's in a drug-induced coma.

Coincidentally, over the weekend I was in the town near where he got injured and whose hospital he is currently in...I should've left a card

I heard read on one of the rally sites that they don't expect he will be able to drive competitively again.....it's really sad to hear considering the talent he has.

I hope he will make a complete recovery and that we will get to see him behind the wheel again.

Get better for us Possum.

Thanks to all. There has been no talk of a RECOVERY, let alone a FULL RECOVERY, let alone DRIVING again let along DRIVING COMPETITIVELY AGAIN. That is the seriousness of this incident.

Still very shocked at the news about one of the best drivers to come out of NZ.
I wish you a speedy recovery and hope one day to have the pleasure and joy of seeing you behide the wheel of a car and doing what you do best.
God bless

PMan

Yeah I really hope that Possum pulls through- he will make a recovery- if his blood has remained stable for this long- but it's pretty clear we won't see him back ni the WRC Group N



All my prayers are with him

My thoughts go out to Possum and his family.

Hope he recovers well because motorsports in NZ wouldn't be right with out him there

As most know him or of him our hopes and prayers go out to him and his whole family.

Possume is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet! Arguably not only New Zealand's but Australaisa's best rally driver.
