My deepest condolences and sympathies to his daughter.

R.I.P.
My prayers go for him and his family.

Did you knew him personally?

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends, especially his daughter

Rest in peace, Carlos.

No I did not. I visited the track the day before, with a friend from NY who was riding his 996. I walked around the track, so I even know the corner where it happened. The event received some attention in the Ontario news media. They actually mentioned 'racing his Ducati'. I have never done track before, so with some help from my friend I had my wife's ok, to ride track next year. Very unfortunate event thereafter.
I definitely feel for the the family/daughter. Here is a guy who makes the extra effort to take his need for speed to the track and pays the ultimate price.
Since he was also a DOCC (Ducati Owners Club of Canada) member, whose track days were the previous 3 days, DOCC will also contribute towards the fund for his daughter.

There are now a lot of discussions about whether an air fence could have saved his life. I don't even know what an air fence is.

i was there,it was my third day in a row, at mosport 4 days is quite a lot, we knew it was bad when they ended the day at about 2:30. it realy is tragic but mosport bites very hard ,it's very very fast and the corner where it hapened (2) is unforgiving.rest in peace.
