Great guy, great racer, so modest.

But for anyone who ever owned an air-cooled 911, he also wrote the bible.

I read about Quick Vic in motorsport magazine about 20 odd years ago and have been a fan ever since.
I've also got a signed Sebring 12 hours poster from him at home which I need to dig out and put on the wall.

RIP Vic

Whatever car, be it FWD, RWD, front, mid, or rear engined didn't matter; he was quick! His range of talents is astonishing.

Bit of a leg.end really. Top chap.

[Koln-RS]

Yes, from the golden age of ‘real racing drivers’.
A genuine talent.

Also across disciplines - race, rallycross, the old school long distance road rallies.

He also raced in NASCAR.
