Whitford Paid $22,000 For His 1971 Ferrari Daytona

Whitford Paid $22,000 For His 1971 Ferrari Daytona - I am a Belgian racing fan and after reading a book (the title escapes me at the moment) about drivers who paid speeds ultimate prize, I am thinking of building a website to honour those who pherished pursuing their dream.


I have started to compile a list of drivers who died in races and in test or qualifing. In all my effort I even stretched beyond F1. I never tought the list would be so enormous. Now I’m looking for some help. I’m still missing a few data in that list and probably made some errors in it. If there are other drivers that are not in the list, but should be feel free to help me make this list as compelete as possible.

Also I would like some articles, bio’s, pictures about the drivers in the list. I have already got some material but i haven’t got it all worked out yet.

If there are people out there that would like to help, they can drop a note in my mailbox. I will send you the list I compiled (in .XLS format)

I’m not doing this to prove that autoracing is dangerous… i just want to make sure people will remmember those pilots who died with their boots on, doing what the liked. Living life to the fullest.

If you want to include Antonio Ascari, Bernd Rosemeyer, Dick Seaman, Achille Varzi, Jean-Pierre Wimille and all the others not so famous before 1950, send me your list.

Rainer Nyberg has a *very* complete list called “Fatal accidents in motor racing”, which also covers various other racing categories, apart from GP/F1. Drop him a line at rainer@nyberg.com and he might send you the Word file.

Is it possible that Rainer Nyberg’s list could be shown on this thread so we all could see it?
Or perhaps it could go on to one or more of the appropriate web sites. That way he would get full credit for his work.

Barry, I will get in touch with Rainer about that. He sent me the file some time ago – even if the subject is a bit morbid the list is phenomenal in its quality. I could post its contents right here and now but I want to make sure he agrees on me doing so.
