Phillipe Verellen
I was reading the index at the back of the Autosport X-mas issue and noted the name Phillip Verellen amongst the obituaries.
I remember that name as he used to star in Belgian/Dutch rallying. Can anyone tell me what happened to him please? Thanks |

Re: Phillipe Verellen
He passed away on May 9th, aged 39. He hadn't been well for a while, although I don't know what his illness was.
He was of course a very successful circuit racer as well. |

Philippe died from cancer. I saw him a couple of month before he died. He was a fine guy and was always keen to help young belgium drivers. He left a big space in belgium motorsports.

I never knew he was a rally driver. I remember him in circuit racing from teh Rover Turbo Cup in 1995.
