He also had a presence as an F1 commentator on TVE during 1989. “Today is the saddest day in the history of Campos Racing. Our President and founder, Adrián Campos Suñer, has left us. His heart stopped beating, but his memory It will be the engine that will keep us all fighting to continue his legacy … Rest in Peace, “posted Campos Racing teams on their official channels.
Campos had been linked since 2005 to the lower categories of motorsports, such as F2 and F3, and in 2014 he was one of the key pillars of the arrival of HRT, the Spanish team, to F1. There had recently been speculation about a new Campos team project to return to F1, about which little else is known so far.
