Dan Wheldon
Indycar Champion and twice winner of the Indy 500 lost his life during the early stages of the Las Vegas 300 yesterday. A stark reminder of the dangers of motor racing. My thoughts go out to his wife and two young boys.

RIP Danny boy.

Yep shocked me too. :cry:
Thoughts go out to his family.
He was an awsome driver who was about to go and drive in the V8 Supercar series and was tipped for great things.
