It is easy to rationalize this by saying he just got the car and did not really now how to drive a standard. I don’t care how experienced you are if something goes wrong you could end up like this. What if you blow a tire at 90 mph? What if your tie rod end lets go? what if your diff grenades and locks up? What if a child runs out into the street or a car pulls out in front of you? Even professional drivers crash and they has a lot more experience than everyone on here plus they have a professional crew working on a purpose built race car.  
So please don’t try and lay the blame on driver inexperience. This unfortunate accident was caused by street racing.

My condolences to the friends and families of the victims.
