A motor sport competitor has died this afternoon in an accident during a motor rally near Burnie, Northern Tasmania.

As a result of the accident, a second competitor has been taken to Burnie District Hospital.

Both competitors involved are from interstate. Names cannot be released at this time.

The Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) will conduct a full investigation into the incident. In the meantime, CAMS and event officials are working with the relevant civil authorities.

CAMS has mobilised its chaplaincy and counselling services for the relatives of the deceased and injured competitors and for competitors and officials involved in the event.

RIP Ian.

this hit home to me last night while I was watching a racing show on Fox sports , it was the Mt. Buller hill climb and all of a sudden Beasley and Lawson were there in their Torana , they had a slight altercation with a water barrier and it wasnt until they were interviewing the driver and co driver that i realised that they were the same crew involved in this terrible accident in tasmania.

a terrible shame when we loose someone to this sport and my condolences go out to Ian's family.
