Ivor took part in six GP's, numerous non-championship F1 races and won Le Mans in 1955 and '57.

Vic Elford later said the last thing he had seen of Bonnier's car was it, "spinning into the trees like a helicopter".

Bonnier was a very experienced racer and a supporter of increasing safety in motorsport. He won one race in 104 starts, scoring 39 points. He finished second at Le Mans in 1964 and won various sportcar races.

Jim took part in 61 USAC races during the 1967-1972 seasons, with a career best of 2nd at Milwaukee in 1969. He finished 4th at Indy in 1971.

The only photos I've ever seen of John Taylor's fatal crash during the German GP at the Nurburgring 1966. Taylor's private Brabham collided with Jacky Ickx's Matra on lap one. He was dragged from the wreck badly burned and sadly died from his injuries a month later.

John took part in five F1 races from 1964 to '66, finishing 6th at the French GP in 1966.

Another new post of Koinigg's horrific fatal crash at the US GP 1974. It's not the best image but you can just about make out that he is still in the car...

was the crash in the movie rush half koinigg/half cevert

i thought in the movie that it was representing francois' accident in qualifying 73, but the images seem to be of helmuth's crash in 74

It looks like a bit of both...

when watching the movie (and "probably" from reading in this thread) i thought it was relating to francois' crash, but the car did look a little different to a tyrell. i thought it might have just been showing some respect to the cevert family, but having seen some stills from the shots, it does look a very accurate depiction of helmuth's car. and to be honest, while i knew about francois and his crash from my teenage years (early 80's), i probably couldn't pin point who helmuth was. the name rang a bell, but i certainly didn't know when and where he had his accident

to me, it just backs up my thoughts of how great a movie rush was - so very accurate, but still entertaining . . . . unlike "days of thunder" and "driven"

hopefully this comes our right, because i respect and appreciate your knowledge and effort in this thread, but is that riccardo paletti after his montreal crash?

i realise that i am probably wrong, but i would imagine his face, balaclava and car etc. would all be burnt from the fire. plus he wore glasses, so i would imagine they might have been melted too and create an even more gruesome image :)
