No idea how this escaped my / our notice, but Ferdinand Piech passed away on the weekend. The man who gave us the 917, original Audi Quattro and also signed off Bentley’s return to Le Mans in the more recent past.

Or if you can’t access that- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-49489424

We've got a lot to be grateful to him for, but the FT obituary doesn’t pull any punches....

RIP Father of the 917!

Yes, amazing legacy, on roads and race tracks (and rally tracks through forrests).
