In AUTOSPORT magazine this week: Surer on Kubica's crash

Like Robert Kubica, Marc Surer suffered a horrific rallying accident whilst under contract to a Formula 1 team 25 years ago. Adam Cooper interviewed the Swiss for AUTOSPORT magazine in this weeks issue...

Following the well-publicised F1 career-stalling shunt for Robert Kubica in a rally, Adam Cooper talks to another man for whom a love of rallying got in the way of the day job. Twenty-five years ago Marc Surer survived a violent accident in which his co-driver, Michel Wyder, was killed.

The Swiss driver talks candidly about that horrific smash in the European Championship Hessen Rally in 1986 aboard a Group B Ford RS200 in which he was badly burned and broke his legs and pelvis. The accident, which occured between the Belgian and Canadian Grand Prix, brought to an end Surer's 76-race F1 career.
