I lost track of the sport in the late 90's and early 2000's, but gradually picked it up in the past 10 years again.
Have you read THE MECHANICS TALE by Steve Matchett? A good read and some good stories about Piquet. Piquet would fart while Matchett was trying to strap him into the car as a joke. Classy!
