Let me make it clear that I also find Taki the worst driver ever. But the Safety car incident was actually completely the fault of the safety car driver. The idiot just comes plowing in straight through a group of people. He should have stopped 10 meters earlier.. And the other thing I wanted to say was that I am missing the incident where his engine was on fire, loads of flames coming out of the air-intake but Taki just sits there. After a while he very very slowly and relaxt starts to come out of the car when he suddenly notices the fire and gets a move on LOL.
the image at 3:17 is at a track called sandown, in Melbourne Australia, I used to race formula ford there. V8 Supercars race there also now. Back in the day the world endurance championship used to have a race there. The Porsche teams truck broke down and three 956’s had to drive on public roads to the track! There’s a few images of them on google doing so if you type up “Porsche 956 princes highway”. Also non championship f1 races were held there, Jim Clark won there once
@Rusty Grapes That's epic, Fair play to you for actually going out there and doing it! And, also, I had a little dig around on the "Porsche 356 Princes highway" incident, Man, its brilliant, I love those little stories. So again thanks for letting me know about it, it will definitely make it into a future video. I'll of course give you "Rusty Grapes" a mention, If that's cool with ya?
That was some history on Taki Inoue... Fun to watch... Thanks. - Now, how about doing one on the immensely talented, eccentric and volatile Tazio Nuvolari?
Shame on you Phil...Taki is not just a F1 driver...he is a legend he tops Alex Yoong , Karthikeyan, Chathok and my hero Claudio Langes...the man who never qualified...do something on him please..Eurobrun rules...
