It was just the second World Challenge race of Paul's career... in the first at Road America, he finished third.

I was privileged to flag both events he raced and was looking forward to him being a challenger for the championship next year.

Now, I'll be haunted by the knowledge that I witnessed a great driver do great things before he left us too soon.

RIP Paul. You'll be missed.

Deaths during events are really sad, but stuff like this is just unaccountable.

Paul was a good guy. This is really tragic.
