Lisandro Boxler, the deceased pilot.However, beyond the condolences, some users of the social network also asked questions and questioned the safety of the races.
“I was looking at the accident in Esperanza. I ask: who supervises the category? The racetrack does not look in good condition. There is a lack of security. Above all having a building so close to the circuit and no wall with tires against the fence. And car safety? It seems to me that beyond the lack on the circuit it also gives the feeling that the car does not have the necessary security,” reflected Noelio Alejandro Ferrero, also on Facebook.
