Very sad news indeed.. May his soul RIP and may god give comfort to his family.

Although I didn't get the chance to meet this fela, I heard a lot of good things about him and now I have nothing but prayers to offer.

On the other hand, this is the 2nd CGT to be totaled in Dubai in less than a year. Makes me have 2nd thoughts regarding my order.

drive responsibly and the CGT is safe. There are no excuses for crashing at high speeds outside the confines of a track with proper safety gear and apparrel. To many unknown and uncontrollable factors to take into account on public highways...with sad and tragic results as this example shows. Speed kills...when used inappropriately

I think we all agree on this point, but out of respect for Mansour (and anyone else involved in this tragedy), perhaps we should save the sermons until we know exactly what happened, and whether driver error was involved.

my heart goes out to you, his friends and his family. I'm sure he will be missed greatly. Please accept my deepest condolences.

One of my best friends passed suddenly while hiking last fall when he fell off a cliff. I was devastated but opening up, i.e. crying, to others seemed to help the best. One of my co-workers shared with me a similar story about one of his best friends growing up and it surprisingly helped me realize that time WILL heal your loss and you will be able to smile about him in the future.

But now is your time to grieve. May god bless....

May your friend RIP and time pass quickly as the pain you feel from his loss is replaced by the happy memories you had with him.

My sincerest condolences to you and his family. I feel your pain. I lost a 26 yr old friend whose car exploded in a head-on collision with a drunk driver last year. It really sucks..

Been there....

From all Porsche owners in New York, we offer our condolences, reminding everyone that when traveling fast, things go wrong fast. Just about every high speed incident I've had on a race track; luck plays a key element. One day, all of our luck will run out, some sooner than others. We wish his family the strength they need in this trajedy, such a young age.... too soon. Mark
