Aaron Gobert flew out of Los Angeles late Monday night, bound for his home in Australia where he will consult his long-time doctor.

Gobert suffered major injuries in a crash at Daytona on March 10 and spent almost 12 days in a Florida hospital before returning to Lake Elsinore, California, where he lives during the racing season.

Gobert said Monday night that he hopes to return to the U.S. in four or five weeks.
