Terrible news. And no doubt several people and families will be mourning instead of celebrating at this wonderful time of year.

A stark reminder of how fragile we all are. RIP indeed.

Terrible news, 3 dead , looking at the pictures speed had to be a factor, the North Circ does become a bit of a race track late at night.

RIP to all, thoughts go out to the families at this time of year.

Just read this. Would like to know how they know this?? What next reports of "blue flames out the exhaust"

"One witness suggested the Impreza car was fitted with a nitrous oxide kit to make it go faster, in the style of cars in the Fast & Furious films series."

Quote from The TSnadard newspaper-
'A Scotland Yard spokesman said two men from the Astra car were taken to hospital suffering from minor injuries. One was later discharged and then arrested. The second man was arrested in his bed in hospital.'

As with most of these things there may be more to it than meets the eye.

Just read the whole article truley shocking, but racing should be kept to the track, not where it endangers innocent people.

How would a witness know it had nitros, unless he was involved in that race event?

Sorry to say but I guess if you are going to race on a public road at well over 100 mph looking at the car, you risk your own and others lives. R.i.P

Feel sorry for those who had to watch the youngsters burn alive.

Looking at the impact I don't think they would have been burnt alive.
