Very sad indeed...

I've been a big fan of Allan for a good few years, and I feel numb at his loss. There will be many more around the world who feel exactly the same. He leaves behind a wife and a little girl but also a huge amountof fans and admirers. He was a genuinely good guy, liked and respected in paddocks and sseries around the world. You could drop him into anything and he'd be on the pace immediately, which is the mark of a true talent, and I've always wondered why he wasn't snapped up by a works team earlier.

He'll leave a gap in a lot of people's lives. It's a crying shame

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Followed him around after some of his Bathurst efforts in previous years. Utterly speechless and heartbroken.
RIP a great driver

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

This still bring tears to my eyes.

- From now on, the race is sad.

 

[Von Butters]

Things like this bring to light the dangers drivers go through to entertain us.

Allan, i thank you for the job you have done over the years, what a shame you cant do it any more.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family in this tough time.
Lets hope the pain ends soon, but his memory is always strong!
