Sarah Moore and Abbie Eaton spoke with W Series after the crash, saying they were both a little bit sore but were glad all of the drivers were okay.
Moore said, "It just goes to show, watching the incident back, how vital it is to have (the halo) on the cars and how much of a difference it does make."
Eaton already had to her mind set for Saturday's action, as she said she's hopeful her team will "have her car ready for tomorrow."
After a dramatic incident involving six drivers during today's #WSeriesSpa qualifying session, the whole W Series family was shocked to the core.
