...'94 gearbox.
The pair managed 3 finishes between them in 4 rounds in 1995, before financial issues saw them miss Monaco & Canada before going bankrupt, selling the 2 chassis for a combined £34,000

Time for another 30 year #throwback; it's been that long since we lost @SimtekF1 from the @F1 grid after a tragedy-marred & ill-fortuned 18 months.

You have all seen my long-read about @SimtekF1 by now, so I will not plug that again on this black-ribbon day.

Today we remember Roland Ratzenberger who lost his life qualifying for the 1994 San Marino GP. He was 33.
"He was a true all-rounder whose brave driving style and delightful character will be sadly missed by so many around the world." Simtek
