RIP Jochen Mass
Discussion
My son has this hanging on his bedroom wall:
I bought it after I went to Le Mans for the first time in 1989. It shows the winning Mercedes driven by Mass, co-driven by Manuel Reuter and Stanley Dickens. Mass was always a firm favourite thereafter.
As a side note, just how big a legend do you have to be to get an obituary on Pistonheads? Not a mention on the front page.

Oh , you need to have had multiple F1 wins - because nothing else counts , right ? And preferably to have been racing in Grands Prix within the last 30 years maximum. Because history only started about 1987. Same thing happened when the great Dan Gurney died - who he ? I bought it after I went to Le Mans for the first time in 1989.

Mass should definitely qualify under that. A fantastic driver and seemingly a very decent chap as well. An F1 winner and Le Mans winner. Not a bad CV to have...I bought it after I went to Le Mans for the first time in 1989. It shows the winning Mercedes driven by Mass, co-driven by Manuel Reuter and Stanley Dickens.

When I was but a boy, with my best friend, at Silverstone, for the 6 hrs endurance Mr Mass told us to push of when we were we shouldn't have been . Security. What was that !
Later that day a certain Mr J Stewart blew our tent over with his Helicopter when he landed alongside the camping field.
Those were the days. Up close and personal to all the action
RIP JM. you crammed more into your shortish years than most .

Group C - Porsche 956/962
F1 - McLaren, Williams
Group B - Audi, Peugeot (flashes of Lancia)
Cricket - Windies, Essex/Middlesex
Tennis - Lendl, Becker
Football - Liverpool, Germany
America's Cup - Australia II, Dennis Connor
