Hockenheim Historic, deadly accident

[Rudernst]

By chance I saw today on Garman website that somebody died at the Hockenheim Historic meeting last weekend when most of us were at Silverstone.

He was 69, said to be from Scotland and drove a Lotus Elan.

German police reports: His car was losing a lot of oil, he slipped on it in the long Parabolica curve, the car flipped and he was killed.

The meeting went ahead after a break with the blessing of his family.
There was a minute of silence before the race that he had entered.

Personally, I am always concerned when I see cars losing fluids on a circuit.
