RIP Dan Wheldon - Carole4X4

The world of motorsport lost a great talent tonight, Briton Dan Wheldon passed away from unsurvivable injuries sustained in a 15 car pile up during an Indy car race in the USA. A true talent and gentleman sadly taken from the hearts of his family and vast numbers of fans.
RIP Dan, my thoughts go to his immediate family, hope my small tribute shows that Dan was admired all over the world by motorsport fans and those involved in the sport at all levels.

Watched it live. I think it is probably the worst car pile up I have ever seen.

DW was a hero here, a REAL nice man. No one had anything but nice things to say about him. A HUGE loss to the motor sport world RIP Dan.

He knew the risks, He had allegedly accepted $5,000,000 to race from the back of the grid, and see other drivers comments about the race. Sorry for Dan, I have seen one of my aquaintences die at very high speed when the driver lost control in germany and went sideways into a tree. Nothing will bring him back, and nothing will stop others racing too. After my friends funeral, we went to the next rally.... Go in Peace Dan...
