So sad to see a racing legend die. At least he went out doing what he loved, rather than getting hit by a bus or having a heart attack or something. Thats what you call a glorious death.
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

RIP to a great man.
But nice to see he died doing what he loved.
A true good bugger, appealed to all sorts
