28 Years Ago today
Wow. Where does the time go.
28 years ago today was just like another day at Thruxton. Wandering around the paddock and pits. Enjoying the day on post just like any other day. 2 first timers with us.
I had been following Marcel that year. A future world champion in my mind. Noticed he had a bad start when they passed us on the approach to the chicane on lap 1.
When the accident happened I didnt realise who it was. Just knew it was a big one. We were asked to go and assist. The rest will stay in my head and not go here.
We will never know what would have been. But i still think about that day, and remember the driver that had a shining future ahead.
RIP Marcel. We lost a special driver that day.
