My first racing crash was like this. About five hours (I assume and hope you mean hours, not months) of memory loss and a looping amnesia spell. The contrast of her expression of nothingness with her heavy breathing from the race exertion is kind of scary. None of the emotion you'd normally see on the face of someone who is racing and crashing. I can see now why my teammates were worried about me.
