    Tony Rolt Dies Aged 89

    British F1 driver and 24h of Le Mans driver Tony Rolt (Anthony Peter Roylance Rolt)died on the 6th of February.

    Tony only started in three F1 Grand Prix and is perhaps not that well known, but he was the last living driver who started in the very first Formula 1 Grand Prix in the World Championship (the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on the 13th of May 1950).

    Thanks for posting this DriverDb. I'm sure not enough people could hear his tales of the old days. I sure would have liked to chat with him

    May he rest in peace.
