Just heard that Dan Gurney has died, one of the all time greats of motorsport. Won in Formula One, Sports Cars, Indy Cars, NASCAR. Gave Porsche their only F1 win, the only American to win a Formula One race in a car of his own design. In 1967 he came second at Indy, the next week he won LeMans and invented spraying champagne on the crowd rather than drinking it, the next week he won the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa in his own Gurney Eagle, one of the most gorgeous Formula One cars ever.![]() Did all of this while driving against the greatest. Here he is with Jim Clark, John Surtees, and Jack Brabham: ![]() Edited by Woodie, Jan 16 2018, 06:12 AM.

I remember him. Back then, his name would often come up on the "Wide World of Sports," which sometimes showed auto racing events. |
