    RIP Dan Wheldon


    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Wheldon

    Can't believe this. Just read it online.

    Massive crash in the IndyCar race this morning.

    The video is hard to watch. Obviously shows a fatal accident

    Tragic news. He was due to partner James Courtenay at Gold Coast this weekend too.

    Sadly, he leaves two young sons and partner.
