Just got this from Steve Bennett at Circuit Driver

Steve said:

Bob Maclaren Dear all, It is with great sadness that I must report the death of Circuit Driver's MD, and close friend, Bob Maclaren. Bob passed away peacefully last night after a long but spirited battle with cancer. He was 32. Over the past couple of weeks Bob had been working on plans for a charity track day event with Jonathan Palmer in aid of the Royal Marsden hospital, Ipswich hospital's Sommersham Ward and the St Elizabeth Hospice, where Bob underwent treatment. In accordance with his wishes we plan to continue with this event in Bob's memory and hope that we can count on your support for this very worthwhile cause. Full details to follow but for now our thoughts are with Bob's wife, Emma and daughter Isabel. Bob will be greatly missed by the motorsport and track day world not to mention his many friends. He achieved much in a short time quite often at high speed. Think of Bob clocking 176mph on the Rickinghall bypass in a Porsche GT3 laughing his head off. Go well Bob.

Tragic for Cancer to take the life of someone so young.
