Accidents happen, Alex. You have to live your life.

It's really a shocker to hear about this at a track event.

You may put mind at ease. The S2000 cannot summon anything like the speeds a CGT can. It would be a bit of a project to get yourself killed at a proper race track with adequate run off in an S2000.

Rest of the car looked pretty intact as well. Don't see much energy being convertered.

I don't know if it's just the internet or whatever, but why do people think a darkened image of a CGT is a sensible memorial tribute to this person? Like, if I were a normal, successful person, and I went off a cliff with a passenger on my Ducati, the last f*cking thing I would ever want loved ones to see on my gravestone is the bike...

I mean I know this guy was rich and posted comments and all but he was a person, not some stupid overpriced car.

no i think you have the wrong end of the stick.

this guy meant allot to the porshe community and he went out of his way to help fellow enthusiasts.
i know this may sound a bit wrong, but maybe people want to see the picture of his car, maybe not to see what happened but to have a memory of an unfortunat death to a friend.

one of my friends died a few years back when he took a corner too fast, flipped the car and hit a brick wall, i still have a picture of the crashed car, but i also have pictures of him, and everything we did together as friends, it all just adds up to my memory of him.

its very sad to hear of this guys death, hopfully this will bring in new guidlines to how the martials are trained.

as i said before

RIP

But you have to put this into context. Most people knew about him from the Porsche board, & his love of his car (the Carrera GT). Just like if somebody would have passed on this board most people would think about him from an S2000 perspective. And his posts on here, about how much he loved his car, etc. From an internet perspective, this is a big part of how they knew the person. How many people on this board do you know personally ? Have pictures of the person ? Have pictures of the other person at different events (Not S2000 related) ? Probably the answer to all these questions is none/very few.

It is a very small world. I happen to know the driver of the Challenge Stradale that was entering the track at the time of the accident (and first to reach the crashed CGT).

I ride my motorcycle with him and his neighbor, who told me about it during a ride today. In that circle of friends I'm the slow guy. The F-car guy is an ex-Formula Atlantic racer, hardcore sportbiker (I never knew squids could live to that age), and a constant track day driver/rider. Anyway, I doubt he misjudged anything considering how long he's been driving fast and my witnessing his skills. But I haven't talked to him about it yet.

Very weird to read about it here and then hear it from his neighbor!

How tragic and upsetting to hear.

My condolences to the familes.

Yes this is truly sad. He was one of the most informative guys on Rennlist.com and 6speedonline. Everyone I know looked forward to his posts. He was a great guy. R.I.P.
