Surprised by this despite his age as he was in fine fettle compared to the ailing McAlpine. He will QO for sure from the broadsheets.

Retired Indy racing legend Parnelli Jones has been selling almost his entire vehicle collection, this is usually not a good sign and shows he is not doing too well.

He is in poor health already, he's doing this to help pay for continued health care. He's already stopped public appearances.

Not a surprise. It's very common for collectors like Parnelli to sell important items from their collection once they are unable to take care of them almost always due to health reasons.

Guardian obit for Marr, albeit in “other lives”, a section that there should definitely consider renaming.

Watched a video from 2019 where Peter Windsor interviewed Jacques Laffite. Peter mentions that according to Jacques the French racer Jean-Pierre Jabouille has dementia and a few other health problems. Octopus can you confirm this?

This is the latest on JPJ I can find

 

Aujourd'hui, 1er octobre... c'est l'anniversaire de notre ami Jean Pierre Jabouille
Alors avec Thierry Thomassin , nous voilà devant sa porte pour lui remettre son exemplaire du livre "FORMULA HELMET" https://t.co/ynt6zyvqP3

 

I can't find anything concrete but Laffite does live very near JPJ. I'll do some digging

One to look out for, Moto3 rider Jason Dupasquier is in "very serious" condition after taking a fall and being struck by another rider in the upper body area. Not good.

Jason Dupasquier has now died of his injuries
