Eric van de Poele - Biography (2801 words)
Eric van de Poele from Belgium is one of those F1 rejects who, if he was in the right place at the right time, might well have been World Champion.
One of van de Poele's three F3000 victories in 1990 was at Birmingham.
Van de Poele also had a drive in the Spa 24hr race for the Peugeot Belgique-Luxembourg team in a Peugeot 306, but sadly the car retired whilst in the lead.
GrandPrix.com > Features > News Feature > Van de Poele stars at Imola (918 words)
There were tears too down at Modena Team for Grand Prix debutant Eric Van de Poele had lost fifth place on the very last lap when his Lamborghini engine stopped without warning and his car rolled to a stop a couple of corners from the finishing line.
Eric had never been there before and yet he was fastest by a long way.
In Phoenix and Brazil Van de Poele could not get past the first hurdle and, arriving in Imola, he knew that up against the two Jordans and the Dallaras his chances of success in pre-qualifying were small.
