Another sad day for British Motor Racing...RIP Justin Wilson
Have just seen that Justin Wilson has sadly passed away after injuries suffered in the Indycar race on Sunday night. It looks like he hit a piece of
debris from another car which hit him on the head much like the Massa and Henry Surtees accidents.
Sad news RIP Justin

Dreadful news, had seen he was in a coma & feared the worst .......
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names

Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Definitely makes you wonder if it makes more sense to have a cockpit hood, rather than open. As speeds go up and safety features are designed to
fracture and come off in an accident, surely it makes sense to protect the driver more? I know it makes egress harder in a fire situation, especially
overturned though.

This is very sad.
But maybe, the sport needs to look at the safety. I realise all motor sport is dangerous, but Indy car does seem to be more dangerous than, say, F1.
Crashes and car failures do seem more frequent. And the accidents always seem to be higher energy (Dario francitti, dan wheldon etc)
I am not claiming to know the answer, it's just how I see it.
RIP Justin
Hey - That's Journey!!!
