No idea how this escaped my / our notice, but Ferdinand Piech passed away on the weekend. The man who gave us the 917, original Audi Quattro and also signed off Bentley’s return to Le Mans in the more recent past.
https://www.ft.com/content/b5334860-...4-3669401ba76f Or if you can’t access that- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49489424 We've got a lot to be grateful to him for, but the FT obituary doesn’t pull any punches.... RIP Father of the 917! |

Thankyou Mike.
He would surely be a contender for the accolade of Mr.Motorsport. |
