RIP Jovy we will always remember you. :(
Your Turn.
I never could find much info on Jovy Marcelo. I know he raced against Vasser in Atlantics. For those who watched Atlantics back then, how good was Jovy? I've heard King Hiro was really good in Atlantics, but we all know how he did in Champ Car.
I talked to Andreas Leberle at Fontana (the guy behind Project CART/Project Indy/Project Racing Group/etc) and he said he still keeps in touch with Jovy's dad. Some of you may have also noticed that Leberle's cars usually had sponsorship from "Marcelo Group".
I totally agree. From time to time I do a google search for info on Jovy Marcello, but I don't usually come up with much. A few references to his accident at Indy (and really nothing deeper than name & date stuff), but that's about it. Having a hard time finding pictures too.Quote:

I often times wonder how different the racing world would be with drivers from such diverse locales as the Philippines and Uruguay (Gonzalo Rodriguez)?
Jovy won the 1991 Atlantics championship over Jimmy Vasser. Jimmy had 6 wins to Jovy's 2 (13 total races), but had a much worse finishing record. They both moved up into CART in 1992.
'king Hiro won the 1989 Atlantics West division championship with 4 wins including Long Beach over Joe Sposato and Mark Dismore.
