An English race driver was killed in a crash (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-10-15/english-driver-sean-edwards-killed-in-qld-raceway-crash/5023622) at the Queensland Raceway at Willowbank, west of Brisbane, Qld, Australia
Sean Edwards
Born in London in 1986.
Son of racing driver Guy Edwards, who famously saved driver Niki Lauda from a burning car during the 1976 German GP.
His first race was in a karting championship at age 11.
He raced in the Formula Renault series in 2004 before moving up to more powerful GT cars.
Edwards raced in his first Porsche Supercup in 2008, winning at the Silverstone circuit.
He played his father in parts of Ron Howard's film Rush, a dramatisation of the rivalry between Lauda and British driver James Hunt.
Everything about a car can be dangerous. Even little bits like chassis stands. Beware all...
