Didier Theys at Magny-Cours (picture-above) with his Saulnier Martini, just before the 1985 Formula 3 Monaco Grand Prix and just before the Belgian decided to try his luck across the Atlantic Ocean. Journalist Pierre Van Vliet remembers: “I made the deal for him with “Monaco sponsoring”.

Didier Theys went on to win the Super Vee Series in the USA, move on to the IndyCar, compete at Indianapolis and win the Daytona 24 Hours (twice) and the Sebring 12 Hours. He now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.
