It's sad to know that the 2 lost their lives....it's a tragedy. My comments below are not addressed to the deceased, but solely on MUSCLEs comments:
To call other drivers IDIOTS is ridiculous. People who drive normally within the speed limit, be it late at night or early in the morning, CANNOT expect or adjust to having cars going at +150km/h over the speed limit from behind.
And for you to say that we are "skillful" to be able to drive over the speed limit......??????
Walter Rohrl is skillful. I am sure he does not exceed the speed limit on the autobahn by +150km/h when he is in the controlled portions of it.
Make no mistake. We (including me) who speed so excessively because we have fast cars and think we are skillful, ARE the idiots.
It is OUR responsibility that we make adjustments to the other traffic on the road who ARE obeying the speed limit. NOT the other way around.

well put and +1 on that, drivers were evidently driving at excessive speeds, which they should not have been doing, this is driver error and fault not the other car, if you were not going that speed in the first place then there would have been no issues. RIP, no1 deserves to die and hopefully another venue can be set up locally (a track perhaps?) where drivers can do excessive speeds in a controlled environment.
We have fast cars but can not defy the laws of physics.
