RIP Clay! Thanks for the fond memories! :(
This is terrible news ....even worse at this time of year. Thoughts and prayers to friends and family. The highest respect, to a champion who looked life in the eye, never giving up. Tiger Racing needs to know, her Challenge car was designed with Clay for her special needs. I'll send her a PM. Great pics, Jim and others.......... *moment of silence*
Thanks for that link Paul....several items on that site...... Nigel Roebuck rememberances.....Williams and Ferrari F1 teams tribute comments.
What a shame. First saw him race at Watkins Glen in the '75 USGP. He was driving a very WIDE car to help Niki Lauda take the win for Ferrari. Would be nice if Ferrari could find a way to honor his memory.
Oh yes, I really hope F is gonna do more for the remembrance of their former ace than when poor Alboreto passed away.
RIP Here's a BBC new article with quotes from Frank Williams and Luca di Montezemelo. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/6184347.stm
Sad and shocking news. Although I never had contact with him, he seemed to be a gentleman and a true sportsman. May he rest in peace and may his family be comforted. Farewell, Regga..... Jack
I was visiting Knittelfelt in 1972...and there was Clay bathing with us ordinary people...in a big pool in the middle of the town. What a great man.
Here a pic he signed for me when I was a kid. Later this weekend I'll dig out what fotos I took of him. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Sad news. Only saw him race once, at the Glen. Condolences to his family. DM Image Unavailable, Please Login
RIP and condolences to his family and friends. This brings back memories of the good old days when Formula 1 was at Long Beach. Before Sequential Gearboxes, Carbon Fiber, in cockpit digital computers. The days when your driving talent really shined.
Actually, didn't he hit a Brabham that had been abandoned on the track? Nonetheless, this is very sad news. May he rest in peace.
