    It was a throughly enjoyable race until the accident. Maybe open wheel racing can use an enclosed cockpit.

    Very sad, hope he makes a full recovery. Looks like he hit the brakes before hitting the wall?

    Hey All,

    Really tragic for Justin and his family... RIP...

    My heroes have always been cowboys and they all carried guns-
    and they all rode horses-that is all but one.
    When he went to the rescue he flew a Cessna plane.
    His ranch was called the "Flying Crown" and "Sky King" was his name. -Jim Dilly-

    Shame.
    One of the nice guys, he will be missed.
    At least his family did not have to go through the lengthy induced coma routine.

    Old concept, think they did this design a couple of years ago.

    And probably one more concerned with aerodynamics perhaps?
    It would certainly be open to such abuse.

    ... Then add body parts around the wheels for safety, and you will get a perfect LeMans prototype. Who wants open-wheel anymore ?
