i'm so shocked about this news (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/more_sport/article2461339.ece), i just fell horrible right now. I mean i don't know him, I've just played a couple games with his name and i've seen him race, that's it, but i still totally feel like crap. This is just terrible i really don't know what to say about it, and the fact that his 5 years old son died with him is an unspeakable tragedy. I really hope that the family can take such a loss, i don't know if i could have lived on. If i even think about loosing my parents it breaks me, but loosing a wife and a son, that is something i don't even want to imagine.

I've edited this post a hundred times, i want it to be perfect but it doesn't fell right, it still doesn't feel adequate.

here are a few random videos from youtube, i just had to watch something involving him.
the comments on these videos say it all, he truly is a legend.

I'm sorry Nocutius, but I somehow missed that thread of yours and I've posted mine exactly about the same news:
