That is absolutely awesome!
Of course 12 year olds can race. Depends on the kind of racing. They do it in pretty high performance karts all the time with no cage or body work.

This is one of those examples of why no matter how cool the old minis were, I'd rather be in a new one.
If this happened in the states I'm sure the parents would try to sue MINI and the racetrack and anyone else they could.

Whether you believe this was medical science, Godly powers, or a combination at work, this is truly incredible at least, and at most, a miracle.

Great, now we know they can re-attach it; how about working on cranial rectal inversion? (I have been told I have a bad case)

Well, if he rehabs from this, he'll always get a big laugh when he says "sorry...I must have lost my head!"
That could have been really, really tragic.
