Top British racing driver Sean Edwards has died in a crash while coaching budding young stars in Australia.
As a passenger in a Porsche 996, Edwards was killed when the car - being driven by a 20-year-old from Brisbane - burst into flames upon hitting a barrier at the Queensland Raceway in Willowbank.
It is understood Edwards was taking part in the second day of a two-day coaching session for young drivers at the racetrack.
The driver survived the crash, but is currently being treated in a local hospital having sustained severe injuries and burns.
Edwards is currently leading this year's Porsche Supercup standings, a series which supports Formula One at a number of grands prix, with a double header looming in Abu Dhabi next month to conclude the campaign.
The 26-year-old was the son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards, who is renowned for pulling Niki Lauda from the wreckage of his burning Ferrari following the Austrian's crash at the Nurburgring in 1976.
Allan McNish has paid tribute to Edwards.
Three-times Le Mans 24 Hours winner McNish told Press Association Sport: "I knew his father initially from his sponsorship days, so I have followed Sean's career a wee bit closer than you would normally do.
