unusual facts about Oscar Larrauri



1988 Australian Grand Prix

Driveshaft failures accounted for the EuroBruns of Stefano Modena and Oscar Larrauri (Modena, who had stalled his car at the start of the parade lap and started from the back of the grid, had two spins).

1988 Formula One Indoor Trophy

EuroBrun had been represented by Oscar Larrauri and Stefano Modena during the season, but it was Fabrizio Barbazza, who had never driven a Grand Prix, who drove the car at the Indoor Trophy.

EuroBrun ER188

Two cars were entered for 1987 Formula 3000 champion Stefano Modena of Italy and long-time Brun sports car stalwart, 33 year old F1 rookie, Argentine Oscar Larrauri.

Ligier JS31

On several occasions both Johansson and Arnoux struggled to outqualify 1987 Formula 3000 champion Stefano Modena and sportscar driver, 33 year old Argentine Oscar Larrauri (an F1 rookie) in the equally uncompetitive EuroBrun (the EuroBrun team were F1 'rookies' in 1988, though Modena, who had made his debut with Brabham in 1987, was seen at that stage as a future star of the sport...if he could get a competitive drive).
