V8 Supercars support category driver Damien Flack will be airlifted to hospital following a horror crash at Mount Panorama on Saturday, barely 24 hours after Ford star Chaz Mostert's shock accident.
Aussie Racing Car Series driver Flack is "alert and talking" at the legendary circuit medical centre after his vehiclewent into a spectacular roll on Conrod Straight before catching fire.
The crash came barely a day after Mostert broke a leg and wrist in a Bathurst 1000 qualifying accident that also injured three trackside officials.
Mostert was airlifted to Orange hospital where he was scheduled to have surgery.
V8 Supercars officials confirmed on Saturday that they would investigate Mostert's crash with Prodrive Racing after the Bathurst 1000 round in a bid to improve safety.
"We can always learn something from what has happened and how to prevent other things happening in the future," V8 Supercars technical director David Stuart told speedcafe.com website.
