Auto Racer

The Resume

    (February 2, 1948-July 29, 1973)
    Born in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire Englan, United Kingdom
    Drove for March Engineering (1973)
    Died from asphyxiation after his Formula One flipped and caught fire (July 29 1973)

Why he might be annoying:

    He started racing at the age of eight.
    He didn't care about money or fame.
    He crashed in both his Formula One starts.
    Dutch television commentators thought he had escaped from his car.
    Footage of his fatal crash is one the most watched fatal crashes on the internet.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was very talented.
    His friend, (25406>David Purely(/25406> tried to save him when his car caught fire.
    When safety workers arrived, they had only brought one fire extinguisher.
    After the fire was put out, a blanket was thrown over the burnt-out car with him still inside
    Many feel that if the race had been stopped, a fire truck may have been able to get to the crash and save him.
