常態性的會接到VROOM雜誌寄來的訊息
通常都是瞄了一眼就刪掉比較多
但是今天收到的訊息卻讓我想起了從接觸比賽到現在所看過的無數次事故
2007年歐洲KZ2組的冠軍日前在德國的DKM 大獎賽KZ2組出賽時不幸喪生. 享年19歲....
這是KARTING界少有的死亡意外. 也是一個未來賽車新星的隕落
我不認識他. 但同為此道中人.也不禁為其感嘆.
我輩業於車手們.應當有所省思~在歐洲如此正式如此周詳的賽事規劃下. 意外都難避免
何況是基礎架構.軟硬體. 甚至觀念都還不是很成熟的台灣
我們所熱愛的運動. 跟其他尋常體育活動比起來. 危險性是較高的.
裝備.觀念.及平日的練習. 避險及應變都是除了讓自己更快以外. 另一個重要的課題
常常在場邊看到同好們有些賽車服不穿甚至安全帽都不戴了就下場試車
我就會碎碎念~其他聽到的人可能覺得我太假道學. 可是在我看來. 真的不能輕忽
意外. 就是意料之外. 沒有人能預測下一秒鐘會發生的狀況. 何況是我們所熱愛的這個刺激卻也帶著危險性的運動
好好玩車~努力練習~爭取榮譽~但也請讓關心我們.愛我們的人能放心
這樣.~才能一直的玩下去......

| Terrible accident. Thomas Knopper dies at 19 |
|
During the 4th round of the DKM German KZ2 Championship,
Dutch driver Thomas Knopper had a terrible accident at the end of the long straight at the start of the final that also involved Italian Paolo De Conto.
Thomas raced for Pcr Dutch dealer AVG Racing, with which he won the European KZ2 Champion in 2007.
Our sincere condolences to Thomas' family and friends.

At full speed, Knopper rolled over several times with his kart hitting the earth wall,
with the kart then bouncing back on the track.
Though the cause of death is still under investigations,
as the police has acquired the video of the race, reportedly Thomas died as a result of broken neck.
The circuit of Liedolsheim has been placed under distraint. In fact,
the facility has failed to modernize according to actual standards.
Doubts remain on whether this tragedy could be avoided.
A tragedy also for our sport, which points the finger at those who manage it.
Thomas Knopper was only 19. He was European KZ2 Champion in 2007 with Pcr/Tm.
Our sincere condolences to Thomas' family and friends.
Anyone who wishes to express his sympathy can send a message to AVG Racing email address avgracing@home.nl
