Ron Tauranac Interview

Post by minrdi »

Hi F1 Rejects readers!

The RichardsF1.com team has successfully secured an interview with Ron Tauranac, esteemed designer for the likes of Brabham (which he briefly owned), Trojan, Theodore etc, as well as founder of the famous Ralt chassis-building group.

I'd like to ask for your suggestions as to some of the questions to ask him in the interview, so if you could include these in your replies I would be very grateful!

We also have interviews with Caterham F1 protege Alexander Rossi due to be published, and there is also an upcoming one with F1 Reject Raul Boesel! Both will be published in the next month or so.

Ye gods. I thought Ron Tauranac was dead. This should make interesting reading...

On reflection, I was probably thinking of someone else associated with Brabham, but Sir Jack and the money-grabbing scarecrow are both definitely still with us.

Well it's not Charlie Whiting, Ron Dennis, John Judd, "Herbie" Blash or Gordon Murray. :)

Denny Hulme?
