Michele Alboreto Killed in Testing Accident
Wednesday April 25th, 2001
Former Formula One driver Michele Alboreto was killed today during testing, Italian Press Agency ANSA reports.
Alboreto was killed at the Lausitzring circuit in Germany while he was preparing for this year's Le Mans 24 Hour race, driving an Audi R8.
The Italian, aged 44, drove in Formula One between 1981 and 1994, finished second in the 1985 World Championship and scored five Grand Prix wins, the last three of them for Ferrari.
Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has been one of the first Formula One members to express his sorrow upon learning the news.
"Alboreto was an important driver in the history of Ferrari, intelligent and always a great development driver," Montezemolo said. "His death hit me very hard and it makes me very sad. Michele was still competing, moved by a great passion, and this demonstrates that our sport, to which he was very much committed, always involves a big risk."
No further details are known at the moment on the circumstances of the accident. Atlas F1 will bring further updates as information becomes available.

Kopy pastattu!
A more talented and rounded performer than many tend to recall, Michele Alboreto joined Ferrari at the start of the 1984 season in the hope that he would become Italy's first World Champion since Alberto Ascari 31 years earlier. And he very nearly pulled it off. In 1985, this was the man who carried the battle against Alain Prost for the title through to September of that year with a run of skillful performances in the scarlet Italian cars.
Michele's F1 career began with Tyrrell in 1981 and the following year he scored a well-judged win in the Las Vegas GP, backing that up in 1983 with victory through the streets of Detroit in what turned out to be the Tyrrell team's last ever win. His switch to Ferrari heralded that glorious summer of 1985 which saw him lead the Drivers' Championship points table for much of the summer. But in his three remaining seasons at Ferrari he failed to win another race. After he left Maranello at the end of 1988, a downward spiral back through the Tyrrell, Larrousse and Footwork teams saw him reduced to driving for Minardi in 1994, his final F1 season.
Alboreto then embarked on a career in sportscars and in 1997 won the Le Mans 24 Hours with Stefan Johansson and Tom Kristensen in a TWR-run Porsche.
Joten ei mikään eilisen teeren poika.
Rest in peace

Ohhoh! On täytynyt olla paha onnettomuus. Lausitzring on tietääkseni varsin uusi rata -> huipputurvallinen (jos muistan oikein) ja Audi R8 tuskin on mikään vaarallinen. Nykyisessä mallissa kyllä oli "single roll hoop", joten toivottavasti se ei koitunut kohtaloksi. -Kyseisestä seikasta oli paljon polemiikkia vuosi pari sitten, kun jotkut sarjat eivät kelpuuttaneet "formula-tyylistä" turvakaarta, vaan vaativat kaaren ulottuvan myös "vänkärin paikalle".

Vuonna 2000 on rata avattu.
Rataprofiilin löytää vaikkapa tuolta: http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/lausitzr.html
Tiedä sitten, kumpaa noista radoista käyttivät, luultavasti kuitenkin lyhyempää...

Tuosta näkyy hyvin tuo Zepin mainitsema turvakaari.

Former Ferrari F1 ace Alboreto killed in testing accident
Former Ferrari Formula 1star dies testing Audi sportscar in Germany
Michele Alboreto, runner-up in the 1985 Formula 1 World Championship for Ferrari, has died after a testing crash in an Audi R8 sportscar at Germany's Lausitzring on Wednesday.
Alboreto, who won five Grands Prix in 194 F1 starts, was endurance testing in preparation for Audi's defence of its Le Mans 24 Hours crown. The car is reported to have gone straight on and rolled at an unspecified section of the circuit's road course at approximately 16:30 BST (17:30 local time).
In a statement, Audi sports boss Wolfgang Ullrich described the 44-year-old's accident as an "incomprehensible tragedy", adding that, "we will do everything in our power to find the reason for this accident. But right now, our thoughts are with Michele's wife Nadia, his two daughters and his whole family."
Audi stressed that the chassis involved in the tragedy had 'already completed thousands of test kilometres on numerous circuits without any problems.' No possible cause for the accident has been stated so far.
Alboreto made his F1 debut in the 1981 San Marino Grand Prix driving for Tyrrell. He scored two wins for the team, including the final GP triumph for a Cosworth DFV-based V8 engine at the 1983 Detroit GP.
But it was with Ferrari that the genial Italian became a hero to his countrymen. Alboreto won three GP wins for the Prancing Horse (the last Italian to do so) and is still fondly remembered by the tifosi for his efforts in the 1985 season, when he finished second in the points to Alain Prost's McLaren.
Alboreto's F1 career ended at the end of 1994 after several seasons with mid- and back-of-the-grid teams, including Footwork, BMS Scuderia Italia and Minardi.
After that, he proved himself a capable endurance racer. His sportscar triumphs included victory in the 1997 Le Mans 24 Hours for Joest and a win in this year's Sebring 12 Hours with Audi. The 2001 season was Alboreto's third with the Ingolstadt marque
