Terrible news.

Was awful seeing Tony Kanaan clearly very distraught in the pit lane and just waiting for them to announce the inevitable.

RIP.

Such a shame, Dan was chosen to be the test driver of the new Indy car/ IRL chassis set to debuet at the next round, the chassis's been built to stop exactly this type of accident happening
