http://en.espnf1.com/lotus/motorsport/story/30219.html Former Lotus team manager Peter Warr has died of a heart attack in France at the age of 72. Warr took full responsibility of Lotus on the death of owner Colin Chapman in 1982, working alongside Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna in their burgeoning careers. He also worked under Chapman in the 1970s, playing a part in the title successes of Jochen Rindt and Emerson Fittipaldi. In the late 1970s he joined the new Wolf team, overseeing its start up and eventual handover to Fittipaldi in 1981. F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone paid tribute to Warr on the official Formula One website. "Not only have I lost a good friend who was the team manager for Lotus when Colin Chapman ran the company but Peter Warr, who died yesterday of a heart attack will be missed by the thousands of people that knew him," he said. "When Peter was in Formula 1 he helped me to build it to what it is today. Thank you Peter." -- 10/6的新聞前幾天有瞄到不確定紅軍是否是在悼念他 Team Lotus 的前車隊經理 Peter Warr 在法國因心臟病發去逝，享壽72歲。 Warr 在老闆 Colin Chapman 於1982年去逝後開始對Lotus全權負責，並在 Ayrton Senna 及 Nigel Mansell 倆迅速篡紅時與兩人共事。 Warr 早先於70年代時在 Chapman 麾下工作，是 Jochen Rindt 和 Emerson Fittipaldi 奪冠路上的幕後功臣之一。70年代末他加入新車隊 Wolf team，並親眼看著車隊的出道與轉手。 Bernie 大統領在F1官網上悼念 Warr。 "不只是我失去了一位在 Chapman 經營公司時擔任車隊經理的好友，數千個認識他的人都將永懷他的供獻。" Bernie 如是說。"當 Peter 在 F1 時，他幫我打下了現今 F1 的雛形。謝謝你，Peter。" -- PS:現在的 Lotus 與文中的 Team Lotus 本質上已不是同一支車隊了差很大 Colin Chapman 是 Lotus 的創辦人 Mansell 在1980~1984開 Lotus，Senna 則是在1985~1987 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.162.83.180 ※ 編輯: ManuGinobili 來自: 218.162.83.180 (10/10 19:23)
