I just realised, the ultimate reject who never was, the legendary Chanoch Nissany also turns 50 this year.

That would be one hell of a tribute, and an article I would definitely read.

We should all be ashamed of ourselves for forgetting Taki Inoue's 50th, which was on the 5th of September. :oops:

Happy belated birthday Taki!

Happy Birthday Luigi Piotti!

Post by ryangregg12345 »

Today is a special day for Formula One! :D
This doesn't just mark Sebastian Vettel's fourth title, but it's also 100 years to the day since the birth of Luigi Piotti.

This Italian started 8 grands prix and was the surprise winner of the Reverse Qualifying Championship in 1957.

Born: October 27, 1913, Milan, Italy
Died: April 19, 1971

Even though he died in 1971, today marks this extra-special milestone for Piotti and his family and friends.

Merged ryangregg's thread with this one - despite our love for rejects, we really don't need to start a new topic every time they have a birthday!

Could you please start using the search function - located at the top right corner - before posting new threads in the future? This isn't the first time I've merged one of your threads with an existing one...

So many birthdays today ...

Tarso Marques turns 38, Jenson Button turns 34 (despite losing his dad just a few days ago the poor fellow :( ), Karun Chandhok turns the big 3-0, and Bob Gerard if he was alive would turn the big 1-0-0.

Today is 100 years to the day since the birth of Bob Gerard, one of the greatest British rejects in history. :D
