There used to be a video on YouTube of Roland putting in an amazing defensive display in his M3 at Brands during 1988, I wish it still existed because it was proof of Roland's talent. Here was a man who fought tooth and nail across the globe to make it in motorsport, only for it to end in the most tragic and devastating way.

A nice mirror is that David Brabham, Roland's team mate at Simtek in 1994, also ended up driving a BMW in the BTCC

He would enter 5 more races that season with the car repainted black and gold. He only qualified for the Swedish Grand Prix, retiring after 8 laps when his engine failed.

According to TNT Sports he set a new world record for running a marathon in leathers, of 3:47. And only a week after competing in the Le Mans 24 hours, incredible!

If you didn’t know, his son Luca passed away in July last year to cancer and he is raising money for PASIC, a charity that supports children with cancer and their families. Current total is over £100,000!

Here is the fund-raising page for anyone who wants to donate.
