Points awarded for anyone who can name the (brilliant) driver - standing in front of the car in the blue racing overalls.

And what was unusual about him ?

- one for the 'older' long-term Porsche enthusiasts !
John Greasley by any chance?

Wasn't he partially sighted?

Correct again !

- he lost the sight in one eye from an early age.

I watched him race many times (mainly at Brands Hatch) in a variety of very powerful Porsches - including the Kremer 935 above - always very entertaining & unbelievably fast.

Wonder what happened to him ?
