IndyCar has scheduled a 9pm eastern press conference. (In 12 minutes.) Hoping for the best, but I severely doubt that it’s good news…

Rumours are he has passed away. Press conference due in a few minutes, terrible news if true.

Here's hoping this is merely an update on his condition and not the worst...
Edit. It's the worst. Absoultely dreadful and very saddening. My condolences to Justin's family and friends. Last edited by fieldodreams79; 25 Aug 2015 at 01:14. |

I can't believe we are witnessing another death in motorsport. Incredibly sad to see Justin go. A great driver who never really got that grand opportunity.
I don't know what is going to happen to Indycar and it's car but this is not what they needed right now. |

dont come by here anymore, but wanted to put down my condolences about the news. Nice to see some old names here, not the best circumstance to pop into the forum.
Darn freak instances like this incident.....not much to say. |

I'm in shock. I don't know what to say. I didn't even know a piece of carbon was capable of this... which sounds stupid to say now.
Just terrible news. |

Also, let's spare a thought for Sage Karam. He will need a lot of support, he's just a kid.

This is the worst.
RIP Justin Wilson. The motorsport community will wrap it arms around your friends and family during this incredibly sad and difficult time. Motorsport is cruel but the sport and Indycar will continue. Its Indycars time and responsiblity to lead with cockpit safety improvements now. |

RIP Justin
Was holding onto hope that he'd made it to the hospital and there was a tough road ahead but he'd pull through but alas no So gutted right now |

This is terrible. This is also the first fatal accident with the DW12 chassis.
RIP Justin. |

It's obviously sad to see someone like him go out like that, but I hope that the family can at least take a little grain of solace in the fact that it wasn't such a drawn-out affair like Bianchi's death. |

This is awful, can't stop thinking about his family. At least this only took a couple of days instead of the torture of bianchi.
I don't really know where the series is going to go from here. |

Feel for Sage. Other drivers have been on his back and his spin was very suspicious at Mid Ohio, now this happens. I hope people give him support as well as a bit of space.
