  I’ve never heard of Greg Moore, but I’m thankful to have heard of this prodigy now. People get so used to judging off of Statistics, they forget the best way to judge someone is to watch them perform

  What’s horrible about his death was that my father before he was my father was at that race where Greg Moore was killed. He was a Greg Moore fan. when it was announced that he died, he told me that it was absolutely horrible in the grandstands with people crying and all that. Absolutely horrible. He left the track when he found out that he died

  Rip Greg. Also, mad respect to Paul Page. He’s had to call many tragic fatalities in races. He’s always handled it with respect and professionalism.

  Greg Moore was an exceptional talent and it was a pleasure to see him race. I actually owned and raced his Formula Ford in the late 90's and eventually sold it to James Hinchcliffe's Father. The car is currently in the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame it it was an honor to share that car with two Canadian Indy drivers. Funny enough I always wore red gloves too and it only became a thing after Greg's passing :)

  I remember watching his horrible accident live in the UK. When Dr Olvey said it was life threatening, there was only going to be one outcome. I'd only been following Motorsport for a few years as an excitable kid and I cried my damn eyes out when they announced his death. Incredibly talented guy and such a shame he met a tragic end.

  What hurts even more is that, apparently, Moore&apos;s father never went to a IndyCar race in the next 12 years since his son&apos;s death.<br><br>The next time we saw him was hugging Dario Franchitti when both were at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2011. Dan Wheldon had just passed away.

  Must say I almost drop a tear when mention Gonzalo &quot;Gonchi&quot; Rodriguez, as a uruguayan he&apos;s an inspiration to me. Everytime I play Gran Turismo I would some time have my helmet with the &quot;Siempre Gonchi&quot; words. Really sad to know about Greg, such a talent...Everybody cheer the drivers that overcome the bad times, but...We also have this quiet heros, who risk life and limb and got the darkest side of the sport. Rest in peace, Greg. Descansa en paz, Gonchi. To all the drivers (I also think about Henry Surtees, Jules Bianchi, Antoine Hubert and most recently Dilano van&apos;t Hoff) and many more, high flying bird in the sky now.

  The aforementioned BC Sports Hall of Fame recently updated its Greg Moore exhibit with a brand new simulator where you can take Greg Moore&apos;s car for a couple of hotlaps. (Not the exact car, but the closest thing to it, an Indycar from 2009) They held an online race on iRacing at the virtual Indinapolis Motor Speedway to commemorate the unveiling that I was invited out to broadcast on-location. I had never seen the exhibit myself in person, but standing around with his car and looking at all the memorabilia even today made me get a touch emotional.

  You know how everyone when Dale dies was like: &quot;It didn&apos;t seem like a bad crash&quot;... well this, live, was the opposite. Such a talented young man. ❤

  Ironic and sad, his number was the 99, and died in the last race of the 99&apos; season. What a sick coincidence...
