R.I.P Dan Gurney

Just heard of the sad passing of another one of my heroes, 1960s U.S F1 legend Dan Gurney aged 86.
He'll be in good company up 'there' now with his old mate and rival Jim Clark. It speaks volumes about Gurney that apparently Clark said he was the only other F1 driver he truly feared.

Sad news indeed.

I'll always remember seeing him and one of his cars at Goodwood FOS some years ago.

RIP Dan.
