I knew several people who had those Ficht motors. They injected fuel like an electric spray paint gun. Pretty much all those guys got stranded by failures with this system. I thought that was the beginning of the end for OMC.

More F1-V8 racing in Paris 1984
The Paris GP 1984 was run in the beginning of June 1984 organized by Hélice Club de France.
The first picture is the race location a very nice place for racing, but the famous river Seine was always rough on drivers and boats.
Tom Percival and I was racing for the same sponsor.. "International Travel Card". The second picture is Tom's #10 Hodges/Evinrude V8.
I dont have a picture of my #8 Burgess but it was looking pretty similar in the "International Travel Card" colors.
Gérard Barthélémy was a new french driver and he was out testing before the race. I was watching him flying down the race course and at the end of the course wide open he took off..a very bad flipp and we lost Gérard..
A terrible feeling watching and nothing you can do.
R.I.P my friend.
The Paris GP was run the next day but it was a very tough deal..
