Where best to find some racing drivers?
Discussion
Evening all,
I have the following shirt, which i am trying to complete the signatures on:
The question is, for drivers no longer competing, where can they be found for me to get them to sign it? The matter is complicated by the fact that I do not under any circumstances want to let the shirt out of my sight - so I refuse to post it to someone or let another person take it on my behalf
Since the photo was taken, I managed to get Menu and Plato at the BTCC in 2014, which leaves:
Bintcliffe - last heard of running a furniture store in Yorkshire. Googling it throws up no direct info, suggesting it no longer exists
Burt - no idea
Reid - I gather he still makes appearances at Goodwood FOS and Revival. Might be a very good reason to finally go
Warwick - as head of the BRDC, I might see if I can be extra cheeky and drop in to the HQ when I'm at Silverstone this summer for the Formula Student competition - reckon I'll get in, or will I be escorted away by security?
Rydell - according to Wikipedia, raced in the WTCC last year - no info on this year though? If he is still in it, I might have to attend the German round
Tarquini - same as Rydell
Biela - no idea, seems to have retired?
Radisich - well, maybe one day I'll have a holiday in New Zealand
Hoy and Leslie -
So, can anyone help me please to track this lot down? If they no longer race any more, they must be doing something day to day where I could find them, as none of them are exactly of retirement age

Thanks for the suggestions chaps!
The Burt email address looks promising, I'll have to drop him a polite line. Also promising to hear Reid is racing in the Fun Cup - I should be around for the Oulton park round in May.
Yes, that is indeed Vicki Butler Henderson's signature - hers and Harvey's were the first two I got, back when they commentated in the early 00's!
