That was such a sad loss. The drivers were concerned about a big crash before the race, especially early on when the are 3 & 4 in line.

A very sad day :sadnod:

His Dad Hugh was a rallycross driver, like John Button. Too young to die, but he went doing something he loved. Art

A real shame :(

Indycar needs to take a look at itself, its aways going to be difficult to make 220mph+ oval racing safe, but there's something very wrong when the drivers voice concerns about the number of cars on the grid.

Sad day for Motorsport.

Canopies like the ones used in Top Fuel Drag Boats are needed. I thought Sennas accident may of been a hint. Senna, Ratzenburger, Massa, now DW.
All head injuries

:agreed:

I know it's all about the "open cockpit" racing, but they really ought to sort what would be a potentially simple fix and make things safer.

Next season they were suppose to have those down force spoilers to stop them taking off... Looking at that crash its a season to late.. That car flew quite away to hit like it did
