Great article by Chris Harris, thanks for posting.
Many may not know Sean Johnston, the only American in Supercup and winner of the IMSA Challenge last year with Wright Motorsports, was teammates with Sean Edwards on Team Allyouneed by Project 1. A huge loss for so many.

just awful was just looking at video posted here of him just toasting the track COTA... what incredible talent...
i know its early but how can this happen..?. fire is almost a thing of the remote past in modern racing.! even with a BIG hit... i thought these fuel cells were bullet proof.. ( even though it seems from reports the impact killed him).
also looks like reasonable runoff in that corner... something broke?? cannot belive the driver missed it so badly to have a hit like that.....
sorry ..just trying to rationalize such a senseless tragedy... he was THE up and comer...F1 bound for sure..RIP...

Leaving this life in the passenger seat of a race car driven by someone else... Now that's horrible.
What a shame for family and friends of both racers involved, along with the motorsports community as a whole. RIP.

RIP Sean. I've been following his career since the early Super Cup days. His sensational natural talent was a true inspiration. So, so sad. He was on track to becoming one of the greats. Godspeed Sean.

Sad to lose such a great driver. Forgot about this video until today. Intense battle between Sean and Estre at one of the Carrera Cup races.
Side note...If you watch closely towards the beginning, Estre nudges Sean, bending his front bumper cap, then it magically pops itself back out a few moments later.
