The Macau Grand Prix has has two deaths on it's course in as many days as organizers defended the safety of the street circuit.
On Thursday, Portuguese motorcycle rider Luis Filipe de Sousa Carreira was killed during qualifying...this amateur video was in the exact right place for the crash, which I have to warn the squeamish among you is pretty intense.
And this YouTube video about the death, is, well...clearly from another country. On Friday, Hong Kong driver Phillip Yau Wing-choi crashed at the Mandarin Bend.
Organizers said Yau was an experienced Macau competitor who had won two races at the track, and Carreira was competing for the seventh time in the bike race. Motorsport is awesome, but it is not without it's dangers.
