R.I.P.

We have come so far that the drivers from 60’s and 70’s start to end their earthly journey.

Sad loss.
One of my first ever memories of rallying was seeing Bjorn in the big silver Mercedes 500 at 1980 Rally NZ.
RIP

Can't remember the exact quote but when calling the notes for Bw Denis Giraudet suffered a bout of laryngitis.-- "Calling notes for Bjorn with a sore throat was like trying to make love to Bardot in a suit of armour". Please post any photos or personal memories tomake this thread a virtual book of remebrance. -- thanks

Shocking to find out. A real blow to find out when one of the big guns passes away. RIP.

Love the story from Sanremo one year, Waldegard and Munari both in the Stratos. Bjorn leading going into the last stage from Sandro. Fiorio held Waldegard on the start line of the last stage to make sure both drivers were dead level, but Bjorn went on to blitz the last stage and win anyway. RIP.
