Death
Frank Gardner, who had raced during an era when safety wasn't a big concern for the drivers and where many of his fellow drivers were killed in racing accidents, had always maintained that he didn't want to be the fastest driver, just the oldest. He died in his home at Mermaid Waters in Queensland on 29 August 2009 at the age of 78 following a long battle with illness associated with his racing and engineering career.
He left behind his former model wife Gloria and a son and daughter.
