There has been a fatal accident today at York raceway, the first in its long history. While this is a tragic accident, does this put the tracks future on the cards? Those who have been know that it was far from perfect and certainly needed some investment to bring it up to the standards of Shakespeare at the very least.

I sure your thoughts go out to the family of the driver.

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Just read the article on BBC news.
Sad sad news for the drivers family.
I echo Sprockets comments about the future of York, sadly.

I see mention on another forum that Crail suffered a fatality in recent weeks too ?

Not good news at all. Anyone know what actually happened ?

speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will

According to the reports he lost control the car rolled and burst into flames, thoughts to the family its a shame accidents happen there is nothing that you can do really is there, i dont think it will be shut down as all the race tracks say motorsport is dangerous.

This is purely my opinion, but at York, the barriers are not all the way along the track, and, the shut down lane has no barriers either, so if you loose it, you're in the field.

Terrible news, I believe that guys was only 23 as well, my thoughts go out to the guys family. Its such a shame but York does need some decent money spending on it, its just not up to scratch. Predictably its on youtube already.
