Quote

All American Racers, his wife Evi and the Gurney family issued the following statement:

"With one last smile on his handsome face, Dan drove off into the unknown just before noon today, January 14, 2018. In deepest sorrow, with gratitude in our hearts for the love and joy you have given us during your time on this earth, we say 'Godspeed.'

"...Smell the sea and feel the sky,

Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic..."

"The only driver Clark ever feared on the track"
He needed the bubble in the roof of the Ford GT40.
Began the tradition of spraying Champagne.

At Le Mans, no less.
And weren't the French horrified at that act. ;D
