Very sad, looks like a wheel on the slippery kerb maybe? Although that does seem to change direction very quickly? I am sure the in-car will tell the story, very, very sad.

Looked so innocuous. RIP.Very sad, looks like a wheel on the slippery kerb maybe? Although that does seem to change direction very quickly? I am sure the in-car will tell the story, very, very sad.
Very sad. I hope the rest of the event will be ok and look forward to Le Mans finishing without further incident. Really brings home to you how dangerous Motorsport can be.
I also couldn't help but be reminded how lucky Lisa & Simon were. To spin Purdey, write her off plus a van too on a busy road and walk away with neither of them suffering any injury at all - not even a bruise, a scratch or a seatbelt burn was incredible.
Drive safe guys.

So bladdy sad. It was wet on the track and those 'edges' offer even less grip don't they. So bladdy sad.Very sad, looks like a wheel on the slippery kerb maybe? Although that does seem to change direction very quickly? I am sure the in-car will tell the story, very, very sad.
