I very deliberately didn't pick that one. It's ok, just not as good as the Porsche.

I don't much care for the modern Aston Martin race car in Gulf colours.

From a few pages back, but... HEY!


I know we were talking about fatal crashes before, but was it Cevert that got decapitated at Zandvoort? And there was that other incident there too where that marshall got hit by a car and ended up doing somersaults down the track.

I may be misremembering both.

Why are so many of you wrong? This is the best livery ever.

Francois Cevert was killed at Watkins Glen, but I don't think he was decapitated. It was his death that caused Jackie Stewart to quit and not run his 100th Grand Prix. Tom Pryce hit a Marshall in South Africa.

I think Helmut Koenig had a particularly grisly end when he punched through a guard rail that was at head level.

No joke. Some of Tom Cruise's best work. Nicole Kidman's angry rant in the middle is one of the best summaries of race car drivers I've seen.

He wasn't decapitated, no. It was in practice and the rest of the team (Jackie) withdrew from the race but Jackie had decided (and told Ken Tyrrell) before that he would retire that year after he already clinched the championship. So he swears anyway.

I had already seen it, but had the misfortune to see the live stream of it on a classic GP stream recently, which is different footage. It was harrowing as gently caress when you know the story behind it all.

As an aside I met Heikki Kovalanien's Canadian cousin last night.
