Last Sunday, Oct 15, was the last round of International F3000 at
Magny-Cours.  Unfortunatelly a very bad crash occured to the Brasilian
driver Marco Campos, 19 years old, at the Adelaide corner during the last
lap. He was trying to pass italian Thomas Biaggi and they touched wheels.
Marco went out and his cas turned upside down many times, also going
against to a concrete wall. He had several bad injuries in his head and
was rescued from the car in coma state. He is at the Lariboisiere
Hospital, in Paris, and the doctors said he has irreversible brain damage
and there are no noticiable brain activities. He had been kept alive by
the machines since Sunday afternoon, but unfortunatelly died today
afternoon, Oct 17.  

Marco Campos was in his first year in F3000 together his countrymen Tarso 
Marques, Marcos Gueiros and Ricardo Rosset. He wanted to stay in F3000 
next year to gain more experience and likely try a ride in F1 in '97.

With condolences to his family, 
Rest in Peace, Marco (1976-1995)
Joao Alcino
