I have sympathy for Troy, but surely being an experienced racer he would have been aware of the possibility that something could go tragically wrong??? Don't forget, we are talking about the loss of 6 lives - how would YOU feel if it was your child/ sibling/ partner that died?

It is not just Troy that should be held accountable and facing the consequences - but he, like anyone in this situation must be responsible for their actions...
