Garage 56

« on: January 13, 2016, 09:13:19 am »

Hi!

Have there been any more announcements around Garage 56? I know that it was intended to be quadruple amputee Frédéric Sausset, but I haven't heard anything more.

Maybe they should invite Nissan back for G56!

I'm sure that it was as whacky as almost anything we've seen so far.

Hi Werner,
Me too. I hope that program is still alive and being developed.

Was chatting with the team at Silverstone at the weekend, and I was able to observe one of Freds driver changes.

He may not be the fastest of drivers, but he is dedicated. A great way of getting him in/out - a scaffold pole with strops looped so he can be lifted in/out under the armpits. He steers via a modified prosthetic right arm, it has (what looks like) a gas pipe connector grafted on, and he literally plugs into a steering rod. Amazing

Huge respect - I'll be with some of the H4H Dakar team this weekend and I think he may come up as a topic of conversion.

BTW: I loved the audio commentary which said they had a specialist lifting rig to help him into the car...

...as the video feed showed the scaffolding pole with lifting strops.

Fred has my vote at Le Mans.
