Vehicle's condition during race raised (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
estate car
'vehicle's' is the definition.
(estate car is a kind of vehicle)
'condition during race raised' is the wordplay.
'condition' becomes 'state' (the state something is in).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'race' reversed gives 'ecar'.
'state' put inside 'ecar' is 'ESTATE-CAR'.
(Other definitions for estate car that I've seen before include "Vehicle with large area for goods" , "Vehicle for passengers with goods" , "Brake" , "Station wagon" , "Motor vehicle" .)
