The motorsport community is in shock and grieving after two competitors died on Sunday during a road rallysprint race in Northland.
周日，两名参赛者在北部地区的一场公路拉力赛中死亡后，赛车界感到震惊和悲痛。
The driver and co-driver were in a single car on Sunday afternoon when their vehicle veered off the track during the Arcadia Road Rallysprint near Kaipara.
周日下午，司机和副驾驶在一辆车里，当时他们的车辆在凯帕拉附近的阿卡迪亚公路拉力赛冲刺期间偏离了赛道。
Several investigations into the double fatality are underway.
对双重死亡的几项调查正在进行中。
Motorsport New Zealand chief executive Elton Goonan told Morning Report‘s Ingrid Hipkiss that details of the accident were still emerging.
新西兰赛车运动首席执行官埃尔顿·古南（Elton Goonan）告诉《早间报道》的英格丽德·希普基斯（Ingrid Hipkiss），事故的细节仍在浮出水面。
“It’s quite a close community up there, and our thoughts and condolences go to the families and the friends, but also to the organising club and volunteers who tried to save them and get the vehicle out.”
“这是一个非常亲密的社区，我们的思念和哀悼是向着其家人和朋友，也是向组织俱乐部和志愿者，他们试图拯救他们并让车辆离开。
The car veered off the road and into a ditch, but it was too soon to make a call on changes to safety rules, he said.
他说，这辆车偏离了道路，进入了沟渠，但现在呼吁改变安全规则还为时过早。
“Our rules – we set [them] in alignment with our international governing body and have been in place for nearly 75 years now.”
“我们的规则 – 我们制定[它们]与我们的国际管理机构保持一致，并且已经实施了近75年。
The organisation did not want to have a “knee jerk reaction” to the incident, but the rules would be looked at “very, very closely” along with the outcome into the ongoing investigations.
该组织不希望对这一事件做出“下意识的反应”，但将“非常非常密切地”关注这些规则以及正在进行的调查的结果。
Counselling had been offered to family, competitors and volunteers at the event, he said.
他说，在活动中向家人、参赛者和志愿者提供了心理辅导。
“The team at Motorsport NZ are also on hand to help everybody as much as they can through this process.”
“Motorsport NZ的团队也随时准备在这个过程中尽可能地帮助每个人。
