Horrible horrible news - its a bit of a shock. Poor guy.

ABC News is on again at 8.27 tonight. Im sure they will replay it then.

RIP - my thoughts are with family and friends.

I cant believe this, he was only wandering around the cars yesterday looking at that immaculate 32 GTR with the other Japanese guy. This is so sad, RIP to the driver and condolences to his family.

Again - thoughts are with his family and friends.

Terrible month in motorsport.

[Mr. Oizo]

Just saw it on ABC news then

smashed through the railing, and from the video footage, it looks like there was nothing left

[Paradizzle]

Wow thats freaky, thought that guy was crazy for getting in a rocket car like that. Atleast he died doing something he had a passion for and he loved.... but still sucks, majorly. RIP buddy.

Nic just mentioned the Bathurst guy as I missed it being downstairs at the car with Mav. Terrible news and to have a young family is even worse. RIP mate

As per my reply via pm:

It was disrespectful and simplified a serious situation whether you intended to or not. It was harsh and uncalled for.
