Hammond, 36, was trying to break a land speed record in the car when it overturned several times.
It is understood that the 5000hp Vampire jet car was travelling at 450km/h when the crash occured.
Witnesses say that Hammond was taking his last run of the day when the car veered off the track in a cloud of smoke, turned over several times before finally landing upside down.
A North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said that the car ? powered by a Red Arrows engine ? veered off the track onto grass before flipping over.
The vehicle's roll cage had saved Hammond's life.

The parachute had deployed, and ambulance crews, with the help of Top Gear's film crew, managed to right the vehicle.
