Is Alberto Ascari the one that crashed into the harbour at Monaco.

Anyone guess who mine is? I met him a couple of months ago, he was doing the prizegiving at my local kart club

Not quite sure but I think you´re talking about Lorenzo Bandini.

This video clip suits this thread and this month but beware it´s not for the faint hearted.

Anyway I did some digging and yeah it was Alberto Ascari in 1955.

Oh my god I just cried watching that

Good right to aswell. Very sad

Also, wow i'm glad i got something actually right once.

I think it's the music that makes you cry, very sad song, together with those images... I didn't cry, but I did feel a very strange sad feeling... Didn't know what to think of it.

True, true

BTw i did choose piquet... before Gunn posted the list.. should i change them?

Oh noes... 4 days late... ahh... We really can't have two people with the same driver? 'Cause I really want Gilles Villeneuve, lol. I made a FOX skin of his car, as well as a helmet... Always driving in them, and I admire that legend.

Not at all. You chose him, you keep him. There's no reason why everyone needs a different driver, choose your favourite and be happy


EDIT: maybe choose a unique image though.

I just chose any from the list lol.
Mind you I do like Piquet a bit from what i've seen.

Jackie ickx for me

Damon Hill all the way

I was gonna have Damon Hill but I couldn't find a good picture apart from him now with all the grey hair.

Bit of Jackie Stewart here

Are we going to do a stupid cat avatar month next time? I'm already thinking on ideas... And there are already some people in no need of a change then

Leo Kinnunen

well Senna is my man...it is sort of a unique image (most people have the helmet) so i hope its ok...if not why hasnt anyone chosen FANGIO or LAUDA!? Either way if not repeates are prefered...ill take Niki Lauda, DONT TAKE HIM FIRST THOUGH , im just gonna wait to see if i can keep Senna on board

Umm... Lauda is still alive?

Of course.

Was it a criteria, that they have to be dead?

Sorry then.
