European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - July 15, 1987, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday july 15. 1987 the stars and stripes Page racing Roundup British up marked 10 years of turbos at the end of last sunday s British grand prix More than 100,000 englishmen at Silver Slonic went Home Happy. And with Good reason. Nigel Mansell drove Flat out to win the race on his Home grounds and he won in in a British made car scoring the 34lh Victory for the Frank Williams team. Anyone who saw Manscel s do or Dic sweep past his teammate Nelson Piquet with just two laps to go will never forget it. On to Manscill s passing Man Euver was show n from every1 Angle and in slow motion and it was something to Sec strictly classic. One can Only Hope thai the Bitler rivalry Between Mansill and the brazilian Piquet does not end in a major Accident. The British up was also of historic significance for the Williams team because it was at silvers Lonc in 1979 where the team scored its first Victory. Winning Tor Williams then was the great Swiss Driver Clay Regazzoni who had been be partner of austrian world Champion Niki Lauda during Ferrari s glory Days of the Early and to id-19 70s. Regazzoni one of the most popular Drivers around left Williams in 19so to join the Ensign team. In was during the . Grand prix at Long Beach in Laic March of thai year that he had the tragic Accident that put him in a wheelchair for life. Today a Cavazzoni still shows up at grand Privi races to take in the scene. He also conducts a driving school for inc handicapped and despite his disabilities he competed in this year s Paris Dakar mar athon rally in a specially equipped Mehicic but he failed to finish. The grand prix at silvers tone also marked inc i oth anniversary of Turbo Power in grand prix rating. It was at Sil versions on july 16, 1977, that the French Renault firm entered its Turbo car for Jean Pierre Jab Ouille. The Frenchman had no prob Lem qualifying but he failed to finish. The Renault was raced again thai year in Holland Italy and the United states with Jab Ouille driving but the car failed to finish in All three of those grand Pris events. During the 1978 season Jab Ouille had a fourth place a 10th and a 12th to show for his efforts in the Renault Turbo not exactly scintillating. But Renault persevered. In 1979, at the French grand prix in Don appropriately enough Jabot inc finally scored a Victory and the Turbo revolution was on its Way it soon became a saying among Drivers thai if you Don l have a Turbo engine you can t be competitive and by 1982, Turbo Power reigned. Turbos will continue to reign through next season. Then the Ruie Book will put normally aspirated engines Back in business in 1989, with Turbo Power ruled out. Although Renault launched the Turbo Era and kept the Faith in the Early years of Turbo development the French firm never won the formula one constructor s cup which seems a pity. The brazilian Piquet by the Way became the first Driver to win the world championship in a Turbo powered car with engine honors going to Bow Piquet who won his first Crown in t9bi in a normally aspirated Brabham Ford won his second title in 1983 aboard a Brabham Bow Turbo. Piquet is in the running for a third title this season and it s beginning to appear that it will be a straight fight Between him and Mansill. While Mansill has three victories plus a fifth place and a sixth place in seven races Piquet has live second place finishes and is overdue fora Victory. Going into the German Cind prix at Hockin him on july 26, the brazilian Ayrton Senna Lotus Honda leads for the Crown with 31 Points.
