So sorry to learn of the death of Paul Hargreaves. Hugely talented writer who worked with us back in the Screensport days producing Le Mans programming . Some will remember Paul from his motorsport insurance days and rallying. Larger than life character who kept us laughing .

Lord Hesketh, Alexander, was on brilliant and hilarious form at the Silverstone Art & Literature Festival. Congratulations to Philip Porter for his initiative in pushing ahead with the event.

Another great back room boy leaves us . Dave Prewitt, best known as team manager for Fitzpatrick Racing but more recently running cars in the Euro NASCAR series died on Friday. A sports car racing addict through and through and always a delight to meet.

Stunned to hear of the death of Gil de Feran who I met at his first British F3 race. Always engaging and enthusiastic , open and friendly. My profound condolences to Angela and the family.

Last night at the Dubai 24 reception barbecue we had fire jugglers. Behind, the colour neon stripes are on the Park Inn Hotel which overlooks the track. The Creventic people know how to put on a race and a party ⁦24H SERIES⁩ ⁦Radio Show Ltd

Saddened to learn of the death of Dave Lucas, the man behind the scenes at Birmingham City Council who for five years made the SuperPrix happen . Great enthusiast too, MSA steward and sometime constructor of an electric motorbike before its time. Loved working with him.

Driving through Edenbridge so thought I would take a photo of the old Team Surtees factory in Station Road. It’s been demolished and replaced with a Lidl - I will spare you the snap!

Round the back of Lidl I found this which might be part of Tram Surtees and along Fircroft Ave what was Monza House and Norton House. John Watson, Pete Briggs or Steve Robey can you add ?

Saddened to learn of the death last night in Melbourne of Buzz Buzaglo. Buzz was one of the band of talented Aussies who came to the UK to find racing fame. In Formula 3 on the track he was very competitive , in the paddock he was a popular and big character.
