    R.I.P Hans Goudezeune

    Unfortunately it seems that we've faced yet another serious rally accident. Belgian Rally champion Larry Cols has crashed his car while rehearsing for next weekends rally. Cols is seriously injured and his co-driver Hans Goudezeune was killed in the accident.

    Really tragic to see yet another accident like this.

    Here's a link in Finnish, I try to find one in english..

    I think here's one more link:

    My condolences to anyone involved.
    Blessed are the woodheads since when the flood will arise they won't drown.

    From the link in French: the accident happened when Larry was driving around with his engineer Hans Goudezeune to see what the effect of new diff settings was. He was not testing at full speed. Larry Cols has been transferred to the intensive care unit of Liège hospital and is kept in an artificial coma.

    They weren't wearing helmets either. And rumours say they didn't wear their seatbelts correctly either. Not very clever to say the least.
