Enrique "Quique" Mansilla
Does anyone know what Quique Mansilla is doing these days?
For those who are thinking "who?", Mansilla was an Argentinian who drove for Jim Russell in FF1600 in 1980, then he moved onto the works Van Diemen team in 1981, racing alongside Ayrton Senna and Gianfranco Cane, and he also had some great battles with Royale's Rick Morris. He eventually got to F2 but had an uncompetitive team/car and disappeared............ |

In the Historical forum of website http://www.thef1.com, you can see a topic about Enrique "Quique" Mansilla, with the first message written by his racing pal Enrique Benamo. The topic is entirely in Spanish but there is very important info about Mansilla. You can read it here.

Yes, Enrique Benamo raced in British F3 during early 1980s (I think 1982), but I don't remember with what car.
Now his son Lucas is racing in the Argentinian Formula Renault, with some success (he is the current leader of the 2004 Championship). |
