Greg Moore 10th Anniversary

Posted by Kevin Guthrie Oct 27, 2009

I often wonder what would have happened to Greg Moore if he had lived. Formula 1 was certainly a goal of his and I have no doubt he would have quickly established himself in Grand Prix racing. Whether Greg Moore would have been World Champion is impossible to tell, with so much success in Formula 1 relying on the performance of the car.

In CART racing a driver enjoyed much more input and Greg Moore quickly set himself apart from other young drivers of his generation. From his CART racing debut in 1996 he looked completely at ease driving the big cars.

There have been many quick drivers in CART racing over the years, but few managed to conduct themselves with as much class and humility as Greg Moore. He knew he was supremely talented and fortunate, but never forgot the fans or his family. His father Ric was to be seen by the side of his car before every race, wishing his boy luck.

It seems inconceivable that a decade has passed since that day of despair and sadness, when Greg Moore pulled on his trademark red gloves for the final time. Time has done nothing to lessen the memory of the great Canadian.
