January 27

Up and coming V8Supercar racer, Luke Youlden is 26 today (1978).

Sportscar racers Marco Zadra,

and Maciej Marcinkiewicz are also both 26 today (1978). Big day huh?

Former Shadow racer, George Follmer is 70 today, have a big one (1934)

Kicking the trend, young open wheeler racer, Rodrigo Ribeiro insisted on being one year younger at 25 (1979)

January 28

BARs newest race driver, Japan's Takuma Sato is 26 today (1977). Good luck in Albert Park.

US ALMS Porsche racer, Cort Wagner is 38 (1966)

January 29

Ferrari's 1979 World Drivers Champion, South African Jody Scheckter turn 54 today (1950).

One of Japans original Formula One drivers, Kunimitsu Takahashi is 64 today (1940).

Today is also Paul Warwick's birthday (1969). The up and coming Formula 3000 looked set to follow older brother Derek's footsteps into Formula One, when he was killed in a F3000 accident at Oulton Park 13 years ago.

and Malaysian Proton rally driver, Karamajit Singh is 42 today (1962)

January 30

Veteran racer, journalist, and Le Mans winner for Ferrari, Paul Frere is 87 today (1917). And still working as hard as ever. Would that I might have a fraction of his longevity.

Australian racings master of time, Murray Carter is 73 today (1931), although thats only what he admits to. And I believe he still holds a licence to race his Nations Cup Corvette.

Recently former World Rally Championship regular, Sebastien Lindholm is 43 today (1961).

FIA Sportscar driver Sam Hignett turns 25 today (1979).

Second generation race and Formula 3000 hopeful, Mattias Lauda is 23 (1981).

Are you sure? According to my (normally unreliable) arithmetic he has just turned 87.

NOTE: The names of people where I know other dates of birth which I cannot rule out are put in BLUE. Any clarifications are welcome.

Females are put in PINK.

January 31

Today would have been Jo Bonnier's birthday. A one time Formula One victor, Bonnier was killed just over a month after I was born at the 1972 Le Mans after his Lola collided with a Ferrari.

Long time successful sports car racer, Mauro Baldi is a nice round 50 years old today, and still racing sports cars around the world (1954).

Finnish Formula One and sports car racer JJ Lehto turns 38 today (1966).

Reigning British Formula 3 Champion, South African Alan van der Merwe turns 24 today (1980).

Austrian World Superbike racer Bertrand Stey is 32 today (1972).

Talmalmo farmer, multiple Australian Rally Champion, and long time Bathurst qualifying lap record, Hungarian born 'Furious' George Fury is 59 (1945).

Born the same day is long time Holden based touring car privateer, John Lusty (1945).

Mostly Ford based Australian touring car co-driver, Mike Griffin is 57 (1947)

February 1

One of Wilson Fittipaldis proteges in the Copuersucar-Fittipaldi team, Chico Serra will be 47 today (1957).

Formula Holden and occasional touring car racer Alan Gurr turns 22 (1982).

I was going to call you on this, on the basis that all Gaze's WDC races were F2 events. So they were, but he did contest a non-championship F1 race in 1951, but in an F2 car. So he wasn't really an F1 driver, was he?

Errr.....

Ummm.....

Nahhh stuff it don't respond Look benign or something......

Falc I bet you wish you never started this thread ;)

LB: while I may be taking a batterring, I'm learning. Sometimes lessons are best learned with just a touch of whip.

Not a whip, Mark. Not even a slap on the wrist

As may be apparent, I'm currently contributing to the "on this day" thread. Most of what I post I'm sure about, but sometimes I might be only 90% sure. I'd welcome being put straight on any of those that are wrong, and would hope Mark takes any suggestions the same way. We're all aiming at definitive date, after all

Former South Australian V8Supercar racer, Chris Smerdon is 47 today (1957).

Infamous occasional V8Supercar qualifier, New Zealander David Thexton will be 46 (1958).
