Sad when this sort of thing happens. Like the crane collapse in battersea a couple of years ago. The body was left for days

Condolences to all

Read on another forum John Cleland may also have been on board.

Don't know if its true though. I understand why David Leslie and Richard Lloyd were on board but not sure why John Cleland would be.

I hope not, bad enough losing the other 2 but I was a huge Cleland fan in teh early and mid 90's. His son races Clio's now.

Sad losses again, thoughts with families

Another racing car star loses his life! How sad. And David Leslie was from my home town, Dumfries.

Very sad. My mate Andie and I had been talking to Richard Lloyd a month or so ago about featuring the new Jaguar GT3 in our magazine - such a shame to see two of motorsport's nice guys to be taken in this way
