Where are they now.. ?

[killerm5]

Was wondering whatever happened to Phil Bennett the ex-BTCC driver and erstwhile Evo Track Day expert.

I remember watching him on Rugby Special and wondering how he had managed to drive competitively(ish) and be a rugby international.. Truly an amazing achievement?

If anyone knows what he's doing these days i'd be interested to find out.

I was always surprised the lead singer of AC/DC was also a renowned test match special cricket commentator.

Wonder where he is now...


"a beautiful delivery there and Warne has THUNDERSTRUCK again"





(And yes, I know its spelt differently)

All the info is here

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Bennett_(racing_...

Last I heard he was driving a Kia mini cab in London.

[DrTre]

And sorry to the op, not laughing at your lack of knowledge, I haven't heard of either of them

[Housey]

Last time I saw him he was catching fish of the coast of Dudley with his step brother J P R Williams, the other famous golf player from Scotland.

[Stevorocket]

More accurately, I heard he was a bit quick at the Nurburgring but not in a taxi.

[GJB]

I heard that he had invested heavily in NUTELLA before the craze for applying the product to various body parts took off and had since retired, now living in palatial splendour on the proceeds.

There's also a rumour that he had finally 'come out' and now lives with someone called Anders.

[Flares&Chestwig]

That Michael Caine bloke also seems handy with the pedals, considering he's age.

[AndersH]

I can confirm that Phil is alive and well. I won't go into details though.

Still locked in your basement?

Is Gerry Marshall still alive? And what is he doing now?

I remember watching him at Brands Hatch in a Ford Capri on a regular basis in the 1970/80's, as I used to live near Brands.

[sfaulds]

You don't hear much about Ayrton Senna these days either. Maybe he's The Stig?

[phatgixer]

He is happily earning nicely being a city broker and this funds his new passion. Aerobatics!

He's very good, by all accounts...

He still has a silly accent and wears daft shoes.

[Vocal Minority]

Gerry is now driving vauxhalls around in the sky alas

[Pugsey]

Stephen South? Mike Thackwell?
