Didn't know which section I should post this in but on the weekend at the Rockhampton Rally Ian Oglvie had a pretty bad off in his mighty 1200 coupe. I felt absolutely gutted when I found out. At this stage the family are uncertain of the extent of the injuries but I know I'm praying he makes a full recovery. You guys should too cos apart from him being like a father to me he's a good friend of our Datsun and rallying comunity.




This is a cruel reminder of how dangerous motorsport is even for the guys with the experience who have avoided crashes like these a thousand times before.

all the best to Ian and his family!!! I hope it's good news.. and he's soon back on track..

Thats a nasty bingle.

Im sure he is in good hands at the local hosiptal. best wishes

Holy #OOPS#. This is horrible news. I was just wondering on the weekend if Ian was still racing this coupe.

Ian sold me the coupe I have now, and his workshop is where most of project has been built.

Keep us up to date Aiden.

I shall

Best wishes and hope all goes well for him.

That is really sad to hear, I wish him all the best for a fast recovery.
Hope the car can be fixed aswell.

He's already been offered another coupe for reshelling\donor parts and seeing some of the carnage it's been through previously I have faith that it will be repaired. As for Ian I haven't heard anything today but I'll see what I can find out tomorrow

Prayers for him and his family.........may he make a full recovery.
