- A guard rail entered the car on the right side, where Welshman Roberts, 24, was seated.At his funeral, former co-driver, Welsh TV broadcaster and friend Howard Davies eulogised: "There is no doubt in my mind that Jaffa would have become a World Champion co-driver.
- He had all the qualities required and more.
- His personality warmed rooms and his massive beaming smile turned negative situations into positive ones.
- Once strapped into the car he was the ultimate robotic co-driver with an ability to adapt to any situation and speed."
