- ericbarrett 5y agoIronic that it was a sanctioned event with officials, spectators, etc.
- toyg 5y agoThat's just motorsport being motorsport. Note all victims were part of the competition - two racers and two officials. Formula1 used to have one or two victims almost every year, now thankfully it's more one every 15-20 years - the last one was Jules Bianchi in 2015.
- Gollapalli 5y agoEliminating all danger from the world is not a good thing. It is a cowardly and servile thing. Motorsport is motorsport, and men risk the uncertain prospect of death for the uncertain prospect of glory, not because they are mad, but because they are men. Let it be.
- thematrixturtle 5y agoI'm totally cool with people base jumping, batsuit parachuting from space, mountain unicycling, etc. The problem with races on public roads is that it's bystanders who get killed.
