Indy Car driver died today in a brutal 200 mph 15 car wreck. We can only hope he didn't see it all coming... RIP

sad. those cars are death traps (fragile and aero sensitive, relying way too much on down force, once they're turned, they're screwed), even with the safety impovements over the last decade. those cars and ovals are a bad mix, much better suited (from a driver safety standpoint) for road coarses.
