Jochen Mass, 78.
Started working life in the Merchant Navy before going to work at a Alfa Romeo dealership where he got his first taste of racing.
Obviously raced in F1 but spent more years in sportscar racing, including 11 entries and 9 wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Not sure if this is the right thread, but another motorsport related one - a colleague is family friends with the Jenners and a sponsor of Owenās - tragic accident:
A fine journalist gone

He did some wonderful interviews/documentaries.
Ah, thatās sad to hear.
Loved his documentaries,he just got out of the way,and let the subject tell their story
imagine... - 2022: Labi Siffre: This Is My Song - BBC iPlayer?
Sad news indeed.
In honour, Iāll have a tribute night this weekend starting with Sea Shanties and ending up with Hawkwind circa early 2000s.

Pretty good shape for an 87 year oldā¦
I can remember one game where the team defending broke away , an attacker bombing up the pitch and the camera picked up the only one who was up with play was Rennie.
Thatās very sad. Reports a while ago said that he was starting to learn to walk again after his lower limb paralysis, but it seems that cancer got him. He had just been made Chancellor of my old employer, and heād have made a very good one.
RIP.
