Hi!!

 

As some of you have already noticed, I'm doing some research on the career of Harald Huysman, one of the best Norwegian racers and renowned talent spotter, currently supporting the young Red Bull Academy talent Dennis Hauger. As expected, being a relatively unknown driver, I didn't find much information on him apart from some scans posted on Facebook and statistical data, so I'd kindly ask if some of you may provide me with some more info, which would be duly credited if I write an article.

Here is the data summary I managed to do:

Oh in that case I'd put R.I.P. or the birth and death date, not the name only.
