    That's a real shame.

    Here goes a true legend of the past, who left a big mark in motor racing.


    R.I.P Sir Jack.

    Nobody else will ever win in a car with their name on it and one that they co-designed.

    Very sorry to hear this sad news. He was a great champion and a tribute to Australia. We met him at Goodwood a few years ago. My wife stood in line for more than an hour to meet him. R.I.P.

    3 time champ alone is amazing, much less doing one with your own team and car, and then having your team-mate win the next!

    Thats what I had too !
    Small world.

    Built like a jewel and if one looks at the F1 car they were very similar but with a V-8 instead of a 4.
