This video interview with Jason Richards was filmed back in mid-June but was only released yesterday following his death. It’s a great snapshot and Richards speaks openly about his illness and the effect it had on his life. He will be sorely missed by fans and competitors alike.
From the YouTube description, here is the list of topics covered:
- Tell us about the battle with cancer and why racing has been so important?
- You have been attending races and been out and about?
- The rare form of cancer has made the battle even tougher?
- Outlook on life in general has changed?
- Hard to accept the illness?
- The chance to run at Bathurst (this did not occur due to the illness)?
- Support from the V8 fraternity?
