[edit] Racing car template
I've had a stab at a template for racing cars (see template:Racing car) to summarise the usual data. I've used the F1 templates as a starting point and applied it to the Brabham BT46 article. If anyone's got an interest in this, please have a look at the template and modify or suggest changes as appropriate. After a few people have had a go at it and we have something we're happy with we could start to use it more widely. Note that it's not meant to be specific to F1, by the way.

[edit] Rindts death
Rindt was almost certainly going to win the world championship but was killed in a qualifying crash at Monza, driving the 72 with its critically important wings removed. There is no doubt, that Rindts accident was caused by a break of the shaft-to-inboard-brakedisc connection! It wasn´t a aerodynamic problem.

- I've removed the words "critically important", thereby hopefully avoiding any suggestion that the removal of the wings was responsible for the crash. DH85868993 (talk) 11:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
