Open wheel racer Dilano Van 'T Hoff dies in Spa crash.
Dilano Van 'T Hoff, a Formula Regional European Championship driver, has died following a crash at Spa-Francorchamps earlier today. He was 18 years old.
The crash occurred in wet conditions past Eau Rouge and Raidillon, one of the fastest spots in all of auto racing and a spot that has generated major visibility concerns over the past five years. It is one of the few spots in auto racing where a high-speed uphill corner complex, flat out in most open wheel cars, leads directly to a straight before a major braking zone.
Most notably, a crash in a 2019 Formula 2 race led to the death of F1 prospect Anthoine Hubert. Changes to the complex were made in 2022 after a series of further crashes in Formula 1, W Series, and the 24 Hours of Spa further heightened concerns about that section of the track. A re-profiled corner and added runoff were meant to prevent further crashes like this, but tragedy has struck again just two seasons later.
Those safety questions will remain a major topic of concern throughout the Summer.The 24 Hours of Spa runs at the track today and Formula 1 visits Spa in less than a month.
