RIP Mark Porter,
i was up the top of the mountain about 50 metres from where it happened and it was as nasty.
It was unfortunate he passed away on one of the worlds greatest racetracks!

I was thinking more along the lines of the crash that caused the pack of a***hole speech back in 92 when they were all starting to tag the wall in the same spot.

But yeah, poor mark was a sitting duck in that crash. I never knew who he was untill that crash but it always makes you think when people in a any form of motorsport lose their lives.
