I worked with Jeff and he was a great guy. Had lots of talent but was subject to the Brazilian money that raised the price of racing overnight. Within 2 years the open wheel racing rental prices doubled just because scam that the rich 1% in Brazil and Petrobras had going on. Pretty much similar to all of those Venezuelan drivers that we all loved for a while. Jeff became the poster child for that. Great talent, great to work with and had some money. It wasn't enough this he just got priced out of the market.
