Roger (driver) hit a pothole, lost control, hit a pole and died instantly. Paul died afterwards when the car was engulfed in flames is what I hear. So tragic.
He introduced and changed the way so much of my generation look at cars. I wonder what will happen to his collection.
RIP

The doughnuts wouldn't yield a speed that would snap the car in half basically. No way.

This little industrial park probably a popular "track" location!? And being a weekend no witnesses.
They must have traveled that long corner at high speed and lost it.
Location of the CGT's terrible accident. Apparently there is an above ground gas line right where the car came to rest that may have added fuel to the fire.

Very sad!!!! RIP!

As far as the car goes who cares, it's a hunk of metal. Very sad and tragic loss of 2 lives taken too early and especially following a charity event where they were helping to raise money for others. RIP

Very sad for family, friends and fans. Even more horrific how it happened. A reminder for me @ others how powerful Porsche sport cars are and what can go wrong so quickly. RIP for both. I will never allow anyone to drive my GT-3 with me as a passenger again. Simply too much risk - life too short for some...

just wonder if maybe that the police and/or 1st responders used the 'jaws of life' to free the victims, maybe that is why the car looks like it split apart... Just a thought..

its amazing that people are missing a car. what get me is why the hell where they driving so fast on a public street?
personally i blame both for driving to fast and getting themselves killed.
i am very happy that no innocent bystanders were hurt or killed. if someone drives like an idiot and kills themselves its no big loss.
