Unfortunately this one had a much different outcome than the ALMS crash a couple of weeks ago/

Sean Edwards Killed in Porsche Crash

I watched the news story, the reporter said that the car burst in to flame and that the driver was trapped in the car for 2 hours.

It sucks when the best you can say is "at least it was over fast" (for Sean at least).

Rest in peace buddy.

So sad. I'm still trying to figure out where on the track that happened and how. It appears as though the car either blew through a tire barrier, or crashed just before it.

the article says:Edwards is understood to have been killed instantly when the car made impact with the tire wall.

We can only pray.

Makes those of us who sit in the right seat (instructors) kind of think twice...

It looks to have happened at T6. I'd guess either a stuck throttle or really bad driving put them backwards into the wall at 130mph.

RIP and condolences to their loved ones.
