Not even a year after the car crash that almost claimed his life, Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond has been involved in yet another motor accident.

Richard (or Hamster as we like to call him!) skidded off a race track during a 24-hour Le Mans-style race at Silverstone on Saturday, the BBC said.

“During the race, at night, Richard was driving and another car shunted him off the track,” said a BBC spokesman.

“Richard wasn’t hurt at all but the car was damaged. It was taken back to the pits and repaired before Richard carried on with the race.”
