Mark Hughes' secret driver column in Autosport
In Mark Hughes' column today he talks about a driver in the mid-eighties who never got to F1.
Who was the driver, anyone? "Quicker than Lauda, blew away Thierry Boutsen in his one-off McLaren test...." Makes him sound really cool! I'll kick myself when someone says it, I know, any ideas?? |

If you look very closely, I think you can see his name on the side of the car.
