One less Carrera GT in the world.

This, folks, is why you really need to take care of yourself if you ever get on a track. California Speedway is pretty fast and if you're not a race car driver, try not to
pretend you are one. Two people dead--completely unnecessary.

R.I.P.

The guy who crashed his car is Ben. I have talked to him quite a few times and when I heard of his passing today, I was truly stunned. This isn't the time to leave comments of negativity, but lets celebrate his life for the people that knew him. He leaves behind a wife and a newborn daughter. Ben I will miss you.

Ben's family will be in my thoughts....
Guys, our cars are fast and fun, but we've got to remember our limits. Cutting that second off our lap time or testing the top speed is not worth this. Please be careful out there.

Awful news, and I feel terribly for his young family.

The car, although badly damaged around the edges, is not so bad in the passenger compartment. It actually looks to have held up quite well. Surprising therefore that both passengers were killed. I guess you don't know what sort of impact it was, and the level of forces on the occupants. I'm assuming that both were wearing safety belts, but it looks like someone hit the windscreen.

We're all very fragile really, especially in these fast cars.

This makes me sad.

Rest in Peace!
