A message from Gabe:
“The last few posts have been on the sadder side, and it’s been incredibly tough watching the races I was meant to compete in from the sofa. (Netflix, please release more shows - I’ve officially completed you🤣).
Sadly, this is going to continue to Brands Hatch next weekend, as I won’t be fit to compete for the title at the final weekend of the MINI CHALLENGE Trophy.
On September 28th, following the incident, I sustained six fractures to my pelvis, two fractures in my neck, three broken ribs, and a punctured lung. I have no memory of the incident, but from reports that are back it me it sounded as big as you’d expect for the injuries sustained. Basic movements became a challenge, and mobility was extremely limited. We had some initial hope of getting fit for the final round, but even though things have improved, the fractures are still too severe and I’m still not near full fitness, so I can’t be signed off to race. There just wasn’t enough time.
But I’m incredibly grateful that there are no long-term complications and that, after a full recovery, I’ll be able to return to being myself. I want to say a massive thank you to the marshals who attended to the crash, the medical team at Silverstone, and everyone at John Radcliffe Hospital. Your care and quick actions made all the difference.
On a more positive note, the support and messages I’ve received during this time have truly powered me through. In what’s been one of the hardest periods of my life, your kindness has brought real happiness.
Thank you to everyone who reached out or interacted with my posts - it honestly means the world. To my family, my friends, my team and my manager Jonny: thank you for your patience, love, and constant support. I really don’t know where I’d be without you.
It’s definitely not the ending we hoped for, after a P2 and P1 and with some real momentum on our side, we were sitting P2 in the championship and closing the gap to the leader with some real momentum on our side.
Now, my focus is on recovery and rebuilding, with eyes firmly set on the 2026 season. I’m more determined than ever to get back in the car and do what I was made to do.”
