yannick, be careful. if u know how they drive they prbably could do some lead follows .
i dont think it was the drivers fault. from what i hear the throttle stuck. not sure what he coulda done different? maybe loop the car. RIP and hope the 20 year old recovers.

Yannick-HST

If the throttle stucks I'd put my foot on the clutch first and hit the ignition switch right after. But maybe there was just not enough time...

Of course I hope that the driver recovers! Does anybody know something new about him?

You are right Yannick. This is not the safest hobby in the world, but life is a risk in itself and we have to make choices. I am very sad that Sean disappeared, but, at least, he has done what he decided to do in his life.

Each time I have a failure (broken axle, exploded tyre...), I think about what could have happened if I had been in a pack of cars, on a track without escape ways... But I keep pushing the starter button because life would be boring being scared of the "that could happen" thing, and, hey, this is why I get up early in the morning and work for !

Rest in peace Sean, and congratulations on your past life...

I am in Australia and read about it in the paper.
As an instructor I quickly hid it from my wife as she's not thrilled about the risks.

So sad to read about such a great driver, so young, so much to do still. My condolences.

From what I read I took it as being a street car that he was coaching in.. Wrong?
It was really a CUP car with all the safety gear? The runoff was through gravel into tires it seemed. What went so wrong?

996 Cup (or R/RSR).

But you cannot change the laws of physics. Gravel won't stop you at a very high speed. And it will take a huge amount of tires to absorb an impact at that speed. Weren't it for the fire there still is the tremendous deceleration when you go head-on into a wall that can kill you.

Here another tribute. J.Bleekemolen:
