Great Read: The agony & agony of Marc Surer's racing career |
November 2003 | Tim Scott |
A very happy birthday to former racing ace Marc Surer. In a career knocked back by two big shunts — and finished off by a third — the Swiss driver earned more praise than points. Tim Scott tells a story of fortitude, misfortune and missed chances In the calm after the storm of a grand prix, Marc Surer sat still for a moment in his hire car. And then just drove. Out of the paddock compound, through the city outskirts, heading towards a vast wilderness.
"I just followed signs to Alice Springs," he says. "I felt so much frustration. I thought: simply can't stand this any more. How can I have so much bad luck.." |

Cult Ferrari 333 SP sports car that raced to championship glory is set for auction |
This Ferrari 333 SP boasts multiple race wins and championship success. Now, as part of the exclusive Tailored for Speed Collection, it is due to be auctioned by RM Sotheby's with a £4m+ estimate |
Racing is the lifeblood of Ferrari and a Ferrari with racing coursing through its veins is predicted to be one of the star attractions at RM Sotheby's forthcoming Tailored for Speed sale, with an estimate of 4.5m to 5m Swiss Francs (£4.18m-£4.64m).
The 333 SP, one of just 40 examples ever built, has a remarkable racing pedigree, one that proves how right Ferrari was when, in 1993, it made the decision to return to sports car racing after an absence of 20 years.
