Their paths intertwined but as determined racers, Guy Ligier and Didier Pironi took very different routes to success in Formula 1.
The former hung up his helmet early on to blend his passion with his business acumen and set up his own team, while the latter applied his talent and fierce determination exclusively behind the wheel.
Success ensued for both, but tragedy remained anchored to Pironi's life.
Forced out of F1 after a horrific accident in 1982, the Frenchman put his skills to use in offshore powerboat racing. But this would lead to his tragic death on this day in 1987 in an event held off the shores of the Isle of Wight.
Guy Ligier's life was lived to the full, but coincidently he also died on this day, August 23, in 2015.
