In this sport luck and tragedy are only a few hundredths of seconds apart from each other.

In the past, two colleagues died each season. It was generally accepted this could happen.

But due to the present regulations the other drivers have better chances again. This brings back the tension.

Fortunately, in the place where I went out, they had set up a little previously a fence which prevented me finally from smashing against trees. I went out with a broken leg only. A small price to be paid at the time for an accident of this kind.

Nevertheless during these two seasons, Chapman impressed me a lot because he had the faculty to pull himself out of the most critical situations.

Before the season begins, I had even damaged some frames, but Ken did not hold it against me and kept all his confidence. He was the one who incontestably changed my life, because without his help, I do not know what I will have become.
