Yes, well only because he made it!
Desire was pretty good actually, you're not plugging her book are you Clive?

Crikey, there's a name I hadn't thought of! Did he end up doing Group C or something?
For me White's possibly the biggest SA talent that got away, but why he couldn't have carried on after the March 81 problems I don't know. Were his drives works supported or something because he must have had financial troubles as people couldn't have thought he was the reason for the 81 failure surely? The car couldn't compete with the Ralt in the UK.
I think i remember that if March had complete control on the drivers for the BMW F2 programme they would've signed him for 1980 but they didn't have. Things might have turned out very differently for him.
Van der Linde was mega quick as well, but he might have been one of those natural talents that lack the application?
