Name That Driver

[Antony Snook]

Here is a quiz question for someone to answer. its a tough one.
This driver left to soon after his debut. He had a children's entertainment puppet named Roland the Rat associated with him.
Due to lack of fame he was a enigma and his accident was over shadowed by another at the same track and location.

Who is He?

Nobody answered the quiz to whose that driver. Its Roland Ratstine of Austria. Tragically he died at Imola 1994 in Practice for Imola GP. I think it is sadder when young drivers who are not established die. Lets face it Senna could not of achieved much more. He went out on top of game not like many on the bottom as they slow down near the end of the career.
