silverstome rocked by driver death

A driver taking part in a support race at the British Grand Prix died on Sunday after a heavy crash.

David Heynes, 56, from Oxfordshire, was competing in the Historic Sportscar Challenge when he crashed his Lotus into a tyre wall at the Becketts Corner. He received treatment at the scene and at the circuit medical centre where he was pronounced dead.

The incident came on a day when the circuit authorities were already reeling from the security lapse that allowed a man to get on to the circuit during the British Grand Prix.

very sad, and more bad news for the Silverstone circuit condolences to his family

why no one commented such a fact???? Nobody said anything about that accident on the TV coverage during the race!!!!!

too sad.... my condolences!!!!




Now you CAN sponsor me, click picture and know how

it wasn't mentioned in the race because it happened after it, in the final event of the day (I would have thought the GP was the last event of the day but apparently not) he was driving a 1958 Lotus 15 so its not surprising that a crash at Becketts would be very dangerous

nope gp is never the last race of the day, it finnishes at 3.30!

RIP



Everything in the past is better than today.It's true,I read it on the internet.

did he do the leman historic race in either 2001 or 2003 and run near the front?

Hmm, good question. I better check my 2001 tape and 2002 DVD for it

It is always sad to see or hear a fatal accident around the circuits around the world.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Did your birth certificate come with an apology letter from Durex?

we left the circuit after the slow down lap of the grandprix so we did'nt see that accident

we usually wait til after 5 to leave the track and watch the historic race

this year we just happend to finish our reconasssiance of the track for taking photos near where our car was parked and we left rightaway

i'm sorry for the driver that lost his life but am glad in a selfish way that i did'nt witness the crash

we usually stand at that part of the track

ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Jesus!
I'm just back. My mate and I left just after the first couple of laps od his race. I didn't know what happened.
What a fabulous day now with a bitter edge.
I bet he's up there saying, "Good view from up here!"
RIP mate.

As a driver and obvious motorsports fan i bet he is




Racing Is Life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting
Jesus may be able to heal the sick and bring the dead back to life, but he can't do shît for low fps

I bet he is sharing a vodka cocktail with Jim Clark,Graham Hill,Will Hoy and David Jeffries. That's a comfort at least.

Very sad indeed...

Rest In Peace!

I walked around the circuit during the after show concert and his car was burried in the barriers (like Montoya's testing accident a few months ago). I didn't realise that the accident had taken place at the time and when I got their (after walking the circuit backwards) there was a few police cars there. It was only the next day how serious I realised this accident was. I thought the police cars were there because it was a very expencive car. RIP in peace
