May they rest in peace. Again, I believe tires could have played a role. In any case, horrible crash.

Key lesson for us all: Compared to what most of us are used to driving, these turbos are extremely powerful and capable of very high speed nearly instanteously, sometimes reaching such speeds before realizing road conditions, traffic, etc may not be suitable.....something all of us must be aware of and cautious about as we drive these superb machines.
