Regazzoni killed in a road crash

Former Grand Prix driver Clay Regazzoni was killed in a car crash in Italy today. He was 67 years old.

The Swiss driver is reported to have collided head on with a truck on the A1 Motorway near Parma, while driving a Chrysler Voyager.

Regazzoni won five races during a career that spanned from the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix to the 1980 United States West Grand Prix in Long Beach, where he suffered spinal injuries in a big accident.

That crash brought an end to his F1 career, but he was still determined to carry on with motor sports.

He competed in the Paris-Dakar Rally in the 1980s and used a hand-controlled sportscar in some events. He also commentated on F1 for Italian TV.

He was in the newspapers a couple of days ago, as he was for a visit in Malta.

Ouch... really sad. I read a book where the writer tells a terrible experience she had when she took a ride with him down the road to Monte Carlo. She said he was absolutely nuts driving that speed and never wanted to experience that again...

A racer to the end indeed.

As a long time williams fan, I was 9 when he took their first victory, i managed to meet him at the Nurburgring BPR race in 1996 where He posed for a picture of me and him.
This day is a very sad day for motorsport and I wish Clay's family all the best in these dark days.
Clay you will always be a hero to me.

A dashing and brave driver with charisma to burn mourned in this household.
It was my pleasure to see you blitz the inaugural LBGP in 1976 and again at Silverstone in 1979.
Godspeed, Regazzoni.

Those who know Grand Prix ( and I don't mean F1!) racing, will be sorry this evening.

A personality and driver who quietly and,in retrospect, with dignity, defines all that was good and enjoyable during the 1960's and 70's.

Others could learn from his example.
