[heslo]

Just saw this, sad news indeed. Thoughts are with their families

my boss is in that, was in the advertiser, kevin weeks.

That would have sucked racing in heat like this. A death is always tragic. RIP to those who lost their lives in the Porsche.

Cant wait to see these guys head up main road between blacks road and cherry gardens road though.

pretty tragic, was there watching about an hour prior to the accident it seems.

wonder if the weather played a part over heating the brakes maybe.

maybe its the old man in me talking but should they really be talking about the fight for 1st place in the rally in the same article

[CRoNic...]

RIP to those 2 Victorian's. Not good.

[TALBO]

RIP. Sad news indeed

[CRoNic...]

Horrible.

[Dohmar]

Horrible.

Damn unfortunate. I feel for the ones left behind. Phlegmatically though, I would hope that they went out doing something they loved. As long as it was quick and painless...

-D

EDIT- looks certainly like the front brakes locked up before the corner and the weight of the rear mounted engine swung around after the weight transfer took place once the front left wheel hit the gravel. Nothing they could have done other than go straight thru the paddock, which would have been safer but in a second I doubt they had the time to consider this... RIP
