In 1978 he had a crash at Laguna Seca wich left him with a broken bona and severe internal injuries. Still does the odd historic race today - otherwise he takes part in PR events across the globe. Also worked as a pilot.
He is the only driver to win the Can-Am and Trans-Am championship in the same year.
The oldest F1 debutant since the 1950s, 39 years and 1 month.
