Roland Ratzenberger (4 July 1960 – 30 April 1994) was an Austrian racing driver who raced in sports prototype,
Formula Nippon, Formula 3000 and Formula One.
He died during qualifying for the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, the same event at which three-time World Champion
Ayrton Senna died the following day.
Senna was devastated by his death and drove during the race with an Austian flag in his cockpit so when he would ended the
race he would honor him with driving around with his flag.
Unfortunately it ended up in a whole different story....

And that's given me a special reason to collected some of his cars.
