Most sad, as safe as they can make it does not make the sport safe. A driver knows the risks, but it is always most sad when they are that young.

As the age old saying goes, "Motor Racing Is Dangerous".
And looking at the news footage I'd say it was just another racing incident that had a fatal outcome.
