The driver was, I regret to say, Jean-Jacques Strub I presume he was testing his freshly rebuilt engine, now 2.3 litres instead of 2.0 litres before.

Terrible news, and condolences to the family.

Does anyone know how it happened? Mechanical failure, or driver error? I am interested for all of us to learn, so we can prevent this from happening to one of us in the future?
