Ove Andersson 1938-2008 RIP - Toyota F1
I'm just sharing and passing some info about the passing of Ove Andersson, a pioneer in the Toyota motorsports world.
____________________________________________________________
Many Toyota motorsport enthusiasts are saddened by the passing of Ove Andersson. For more than three decades, Ove pioneered the use of Toyotas in world-wide motorsports. His achievements are unsurpassed by any Toyota team. He led Toyota: in competition from the deserts of Africa, the hillsides of Monte-Carlo, the straights in Le Mans- and it all started from a small garage. Passion, dedication, and ability.
His persistence, determination, and success will always be legendary and iconic. More than a Team Manager, he was a wonderful man, admired by many fans and followers. We all share in his triumphs, his disappointments, and more important continue his dreams. Thank you and Godspeed, Ove.
From all your friends and fans,
Joel
If you are interested in signing a memorial book or sending a message to Ove’s family, a book will be available at the Toyota Museum, Toyota Headquarters, and Toysport. Printed Note Cards will also be available- to share “I'll always remember the time when..." or "I wish I'd had the chance to say..."
Alternatively, you can e-mail your message to tribute_to_ove@toysport.com
These will be forwarded to Toyota Motorsport GMBH in Cologne, in time for the memorial service on July 1.
