Default Llaandow race circuit fatality.

Sadly someone died in a collision at the circuit today
Im not sure if anyone (welsh lot) knows what happened there exactly, obviously hope nobody from here was involved.

Wasn't two cars fudgey mate...it was said on the news as a collision but must have been with a barrier as it was only the one car, a flip maybe??...sorry didn't quite make that clear.

It seriously makes you think if you should only be in a caged car when doing this sort of thing, although this is no guarantee. I know this would have a lot of repercussions on what is a booming market though.

I heard it was a 60 year old man from Chepstow , he was the only one on the track at the time , it said on the news he was in a racing car , so I guess it had a cage , dont know any more.
