Bathurst driver Porter on life support
Ford driver David Clark has regained consciousness but Mark Porter remains on life support after their massive accident at Mount Panorama.
Both drivers were airlifted to hospital in critical condition on Friday afternoon after Clark ploughed into Porter's stalled Holden Commodore at close to 180kph during a second tier race at the Bathurst 1000 meeting.
Clark, 26, regained consciousness overnight in Nepean Hospital in Penrith and although he is not yet talking he has shown signs of mental alertness.
Porter, 31, has serious head and chest injuries and remains critical in Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney.
New Zealand-born Porter suddenly spun sideways on a climb up the mountain, stalled and was left stranded in the middle of the track in an area blinded to oncoming traffic.
Clark sent his Falcon sideways in an attempt to escape collision but crashed directly into Porter's driver's side door.
