Couldn't find this announcement anywhere here so thought it might be of interest.

Amazing 'old school' article, a lovely read.

170mph.. Bloody hell, I remember doing 150mph in a new Sierra Cosworth.. it was on a motorway and it felt 'interesting'. Soon got used to it lol.

Magnificent driver and a lifelong contribution to the sport.

Well deserved rest and I do hope he recovers from the infection that has dogged him.

One of the best bits of motoring journalism. I read that when it was first published. I was 8, It was mesmeric.

The car, complete with double headrests and the number 722, is a frequent visitor to the Goodwood FoS.

DSJ made me want to be a writer.
