A shy Welshman, but one fast and furious racer

Welshman Tom Pryce was tragically killed on this day in 1977, the victim of a freak accident that marred the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami that year. Pryce was 27 and on the verge of a promising career. In 1975, he won the non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch with Shadow. A shy soul off the track, Pryce was a fierce charger with a flamboyant style behind the wheel of a race car.
