Porsche Supercup championship leader Sean Edwards has been killed in a crash in Australia.

The 26-year-old was a passenger in a Porsche 996 that hit the barriers at Queensland Raceway in Willowbank during a private test session on Tuesday.

Edwards was killed instantly on impact with the tyre wall on the outside of the track.

The accident was initially attended to by onlookers after the car burst into flames on impact.

The local emergency services spent three hours extracting the driver - a 20-year-old man from Brisbane - from the burning wreckage. He is currently in intensive care with life-threatening injuries.

Edwards currently holds an 18-point lead in the Supercup standings with just two races in Abu Dhabi still to run on November 2-3.

One of my favourite drivers. Always watched the SuperCup races on SSF1 this year and was willing him on to the championship. Also saw him in the Daytona24 and Dubai24. I followed him on twitter and he seemed like a down to earth, genuinely nice guy.

He was a huge talent and will definitely be missed :(
 
Just seen this, pretty devastating. A passenger too :(

Watched him in the Porsche support races at Silverstone when I've been to the F1 a few times.
 
This hurts this one. Sean is a member of a private forum I'm a member of and I chat to him most days as he is also in my Clash of Clans clan with a few others. It hurts because that private forum has now lost 3 members in the last month and I wake this morning having just attended the funeral of one of those members. RIP Sheds
 
Top fella whom I never met in real life but have known him many years from racing online before he was a pro driver and have followed him on twitter and facebook and watched him drive in the Porsche super cup, still cannot believe it R.I.P Sean :(

Incase nightstalker aka kyle is reading this hope your well too bud I know you were really good friends
 
From the photos, the car is barely recognisable as a Porsche. It's a wonder the driver is still alive (here's hoping he doesn't suffer the same fate).

Rest In Peace Sean.
