Championship-winning Erik Comas Renault 5 Turbo heads to auction with £250,000 estimate

Iconic Auctioneers will be offering Erik Comas' 1987 Renault 5 Turbo 'Superproduction' to auction at next month's Race Retro competition car sale. The title-winning car will carry an estimate of £200,000-£250,000.

Comas' name is usually referred to with regard to Formula 1, where he drove for the Ligier team starting in 1991 before moving to Larrousse for 1993. While he scored only seven points during this time, he's arguably more well-known for being saved by Ayrton Senna after the Frenchman crashed at the Blanchimont corner during the race weekend of the 1992 Belgian Grand Prix.
