Remembering Don Watson - 20 years on

Hard to believe it was 20 years ago today that Don Watson was killed in the opening minutes of the first Thursday practice session of the 1994 Bathurst 1000.

Watson suffered a front left brake rotor failure, causing him to lose brakes and steering as he entered the chase causing him to go straight ahead into the then earth and tyre wall in the gravel trap at an undiminished speed.

They say you never forget your first fatal and it's your worst and even 20 years on I have to agree.
