Michel Wyder (March 1, 1950 - May 31, 1986) was a Swiss rally co-driver, who served as the co-driver of ex-Formula One driver Marc Surer until his death at the 1986 ADAC Rallye Hessen.
Death
Wyder was killed at the 1986 ADAC Rallye Hessen after the Ford RS200 Surer was driving crashed into a tree and burst into flames. Wyder burned to death in the wreckage while Surer escaped. 1986 was turning into a dark year for the rallying community, with the deaths of Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto earlier that month in the Tour de Corse.[1]
