Very sad to learn of @Mrwaterbiscuit’s death. A genuinely nice bloke who loved racing (cracking driver), aircraft and art (he was an ace artist).
My thoughts are very much with your family.
cc @specutainment he was one of us, mate. Can you add him to the Roll of Honour please?

Walk into the IMS Museum at 10:01 today, who is the absolute first person I see - Donald Davidson!
Hadn't seen Donald since May. Good to catch-up & chat before Dan R. Boyd & I went thru the Museum - Dan's first time since it was reimagined, he was super impressed!

Gerard was a British racer, coming from a mechanical background, as family business was in motor trade. Bought his first racing car at end of WW2, and used his engineering skills to bring new life to the car. He competed in eight F1 races. Scarce book.

Remembering Richard Burton CBE, multi-award winning star of stage and screen, born #OnThisDay in 1925.

The iconic Sauber-Mercedes C11 #31 leads a pack of Group C prototypes down the pit lane at the 1991 24 Hours of Le Mans.
This specific silver arrow holds immense motorsport history, as it was driven by a young Michael Schumacher, alongside Karl Wendlinger and Fritz Kreutzpointner, finishing an impressive 5th overall.
Behind it sits the legendary Leyton House Porsche 962, perfectly capturing the golden era of endurance racing.
