Hi aussiejimmy,

This is indeed very sad. Im very sad and at the same time angry. We loose one of Porsche´s best drivers getting killed in accident in a a car driven by a 20 year old bloke..it should have been the reverse.

Unbelievable, de Villota, Edwards, 24h Le Mans this year..all three different backgrounds ..three differrent cases..but it shows us that it can over from one second to the next...and how fragile we are.

Sean was one the best Porsche drivers of the last years. May his family have the strenght to overcome this tragic loss.

That is truly terrible. A great talent lost.
Sadly have witnessed death rob youth from to many men.

When Jörg only messaged "Sean" I thought there was no way it could be Edwards and it was. Heartbroken for his family and the Sport. He was a true natural--RIP.

Such sad news. He was one of the drivers I followed on you tube. Just saw the movie "Rush" last weekend and was looking for him as I know he was in the movie.

RIP Sean Edwards.

Supreme talent. Gone too soon.

Condolences to the family.

Cause of accident unknown but looks like the car left the track at near-on full speed to be demolished the way it was...

So sad..

I think we've all seen what he can do in a cup car at our favorite tracks across the world but here is probably one of my favorites probably because he's driving one of our cars
