Sean Edwards dies while coaching in Australia
I was so shocked when I checked my email before sleeping. Friend relayed to me that Sean had just passed away. I've kept in touch with him these past two years and had a lot of fun talking and hanging out with him and learned quite a bit on driving. Porsche fanatic, stand up guy, and a fantastic racer. He had so much potential and was so young. Earlier this year we lost Allan Simonsen as well, two great young drivers. What an unfortunate turn of events. 
My condolences to their families.

My condolences to their families.
Porsche Supercup championship leader Sean Edwards has been killed in a crash in Australia.
The 26-year-old Briton was a passenger in a Porsche 996 that hit the barriers at Queensland Raceway in Willowbank during a private test session on Tuesday.
Edwards was killed instantly on impact with the tyre wall on the outside of the track at Turn 6.
The accident was initially attended to by onlookers after the car burst into flames on impact.
The local emergency services spent three hours extracting the driver - a 20-year-old man from Brisbane - from the burning wreckage. He is currently in intensive care with life-threatening injuries.
An ultra-successful season in 2013 had featured victories for Edwards in the Nurburgring and Dubai 24 Hours, wins in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and in the GTC class of the American Le Mans Series.
He currently leads the Supercup standings with just one double-header at Yas Marina to run on November 2-3.
