Chris-p Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 A very sad day. Was with Niko when he took the above photo. Sir Jack was not looking all that good but was still making himself available for everyone. An Australian Icon. A few of us have been very lucky to get close to his 66 championship winning car and to see what he was driving and the lack of any sort of safety features the guy was fearless.... A lifetime hero of many us. c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiX Posted 19May, 2014 Report Share Posted 19May, 2014 Lucky enough to meet Sir Jack at the first Bahrain GP when I was working for Jag.
