Marshals' Post MARSHALS’ The newsletter of the South East Region of the British Motorsport P OST Marshals Club SUMMER 2020 SPRING 2020 Chairman’s Thoughts “Uppity, Nigger!” Not my words, I hasten to add, but they’re the words of Willy T. Ribbs recalling much of the abuse he received whilst racing in the Trans Am series in the States in the autobiographical film “Uppity” - one of many films I have watched, courtesy of Netflix during the first few weeks of the lockdown. Willy T. was, as far as I know, the first black racing driver in the UK. Probably, like me (if you’re of a sufficient vintage) you’ll vaguely remember his arrival on the UK racing scene back in the 1970’s. He won 6 of his 11 races for Scorpion Racing in the 1977 Townsend Thorensen F.F. Championship (sorry, Bob, there goes one of your potential quiz questions) and was crowned Champion. He then disappeared and I, along with others, thought that that was that…’flash in the pan’ stuff. In fact, not having enough £££ to move up to F3, Willy returned to the States and that’s where his story becomes fascinating. I’ll say no more. If you haven’t seen this film, I think it’s a “must”. Real “Roy of the Rovers” stuff! Why do I mention the above?.....I confess to not having been attracted to watching virtual racing on my computer but, unusually for me, I did seek a reconnection with normality by watching several films of a more documentary nature about motor racing….and pretty damned good watching they were, too. “Drive to Survive”, “A Life of Speed -Fangio”, “The 24 Hour War” and so on. My withdrawal symptoms became much less severe. I’ve also recently had recommended to me, by none other than George Copeland, “Yellow,Yellow, Yellow, but it’s only on Amazon Prime, which I don’t have....yet!” Also keeping me from going “stir crazy”, during the past few weeks, has been contacting the region’s 2019 Award Winners. Our awards are usually presented at one of the Marshals’ Training Days, at the beginning of the year, but none of our award winners were at this year’s events. The other option was to present the appropriate trophies to the winners at one of the early race meetings of 2020. Well, we all know what happened then! Fortunately, a few years ago, the SE Committee decided that SE award recipients should receive small keepsake trophies which, unlike the main trophies, could be kept permanently as a reminder of the recognition they had received from their marshalling colleagues. I have posted these to our winners. If you want to find out more about our regional awards please visit the “Awards” page of the BMMC (SE Region) website. (click on “Awards” to visit the page) Just to remind everyone, our 2019 award winners were: John Davallou Trophy: Martin Purnell Marshal of the Year: Steve Wilton Trainee Marshal of the Year: Bradley Lee Their individual citations can now be viewed on the BMMC (SE) website News page. (click on “News” to visit the page) You will hopefully be aware, from recent announcements, that Tony Lacey and Andrew Elliott are now our BMMC Representatives at Snetterton and Lydden Hill, respectively. May I also point out that if you visit the SE region’s website page on www.marshals.co.uk and head to our “News” page, you will find their regular reports on matters at each of those circuits. Furthermore, if you fancy marshalling at Snetterton, you can find out even more by going to www.snettertonmarshals.co.uk - It’s a very informative site, and well worth visiting. BMMC (SE) SUMMER 2020 - Page 1 Finally, just a mention that as I write, Andrew Elliott informs me that Paul Buckland has been released from hospital, following having contracted coronavirus. I understand that he was pretty rough for a while, but is now recovering back at home. I know you will join with me in wishing Paul all the best, whilst looking forward to his company at the track once racing returns, later in the year. Wishing all SE Region members a safe passage through this pandemic, and hoping that what remains of the 2020 motor racing season is both enjoyable and safe for everyone. As I send these “Thoughts” to our Editor, the news of Stirling Moss’s death was announced. What a life! His was a household name, particularly at the time he was racing. His era of racing was when I first became interested in motor racing, although I must admit in a time rather reminiscent of “Rolling Stones vs Beatles”, I was a Mike Hawthorn fan rather than a Moss fan. Nevertheless, the story went that if a driver was stopped by the police for speeding, they never asked: “Who do you think you are? Mike Hawthorn?” No, never, it was always “Stirling Moss?” Priceless memories! R.I.P. Stirling! (My own photo of Stirling racing at Knockhill 1987 – Ed.) Neil Stretton - Chairman: BMMC (SE Region) - [email protected] LOST COLLEAGUES Fred Raven Sadly, Fred Raven passed away in April; a victim of the Coronavirus pandemic. Fred had, in recent years been a Post Chief and had previously been a Flag Marshal for many years. He hadn’t been too well for a while, and he’s been in a care home for the previous 18 months. I don’t think he’d been marshalling for 3-4 years. Whether or not he was still a BMMC member doesn’t matter, he was still “one of us”. Fred was one of “The Class of 46”…there’s quite a few of us “Baby Boomers” still around! From memory, I first met Fred in the 1970s at Brands Hatch, where he was a regular flag marshal. In more recent years he came abroad on at least one “SAGA LOUT” trip to marshal at the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach (Champ Cars), and I also recall flagging with him at The Corkscrew, Laguna Seca, at a “Regionals” race meeting. He also came with me in 2010 to marshal at the Canadian Grand Prix. I don’t pretend to have known Fred particularly well, but anyone who spend 11 hours with him on a Trans-Atlantic flight soon knew everything there was to know about his wife’s cats - Nicky ran (or still runs) a cattery, I believe. Given more time with Fred, you soon learnt the rudimentaries of sewage…or let’s call it water supply (his work was with East Anglian Water). Fred told me he had been married THREE times….and whilst he remained discreet about his personal life, there was a certain glint in his eye, as much as to say: “Beat that!” To his wife, Nicky, may I extend my sincerer condolences, on behalf of all at BMMC (SE Region). Roger Stebbing Also sad to report, is the passing of Roger Stebbing, a result of bone cancer. I didn’t know him, but Mildred Wiltshire informs me that he was a long-time Judge for both BRSCC and MSVR. I’m not sure if he was a BMMC member, but as I’ve previously commented, that’s hardly important when you consider he was still very much a volunteer on whom our hobby depends. If any reader knows more about Roger, we’ll be pleased to give him more column inches in our Autumn issue. BMMC (SE) SUMMER 2020 - Page 2 And Another Thing… (An Editorial) Well, I’m not going to dwell on the bleeding obvious. As much as we enjoy our sport, sometimes other things are a bit more important. Suffice to say I’m sure we have all endured many disappointments and possible hardships since we last connected, so I extend my best wishes to everyone. With the ever-changing landscape around us at the moment, things might well have altered between the compilation of this edition and it landing on your p.c. or doorstep, so apologies if that is the case. Other more instant social networking platforms will no doubt keep you up-to-date with the most recent news and instructions. With no live sport to attend, like many of you no doubt, I’ve had time to do a bit of spring cleaning. Rummaging through old race programmes and magazines has brought back so many rose-tinted memories! In the last edition I included an article on my own start in marshalling at Ingliston circuit, near Edinburgh. Amongst my dust covered collection I came across a few reminders of ‘different’ (old normal?) days. I don’t recall getting Barry Sheene to sign my programme (on my first circuit marshalling day !!) but I do remember our marshal post team halting David Essex on his ’parade’ lap (one of the stranger meeting sponsors?) to get a photo! (that’s probably a ‘selfie’ now…) I also mentioned hunting for the image of Doug Niven crashing the fearsome Border Reivers Ford Escort Special Saloon into the toilet block at Ingliston… Well I found that too ! A lucky escape for some spectators that day… Now I know marshals like getting stuff for nothing. How? Well, I’m a marshal too and I like free stuff, even if it’s just our breakfast… Which is why I’m all the more puzzled that I appear to be unable to give goodies away through the newsletter! I had Cataclean as a generous quiz sponsor, I’ve sourced all sorts of hats, t-shirts, books, mugs, signed items, lanyards, team shirts, memorabilia, keyrings etc.

  • Completed Acquisition by Motorsport Vision Ltd of Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Limited
    Completed acquisition by Motorsport Vision Ltd of Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Limited The OFT's decision on reference under section 22 (1) given on 24 May 2004 Please note that square brackets indicate actual figures excised at the request of the parties for reasons of commercial confidentiality. PARTIES MotorSport Vision Ltd (MSV) is a new company owned by Roadcoast Ltd, which also owns JPM Ltd. JPM trades as PalmerSport and Bedford Autodrome. It operates almost exclusively in the field of corporate event driving experience days. Brands Hatch Circuits Ltd & Brands Hatch Leisure Ltd (BHCL) was formally part of Octagon Motorsports. In November of 2003 Octagon Motorsports split its five motor racing circuits in to Silverstone Motorsports Limited (Silverstone) and BHCL (Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park and Snetterton). The UK turnover of the assets of BHCL bought by MSV was £18m in the year 2003. TRANSACTION MSV has purchased the four BHCL circuits; various vehicles; and On Track (a track day organiser (TDO)). The administrative deadline is May 24 2004 and the statutory deadline is 8 June 2004. JURISDICTION As a result of this transaction, MSV will supply over 25 per cent of track days for non- club members in the UK. The share of supply test in section 23 of the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) is met. A relevant merger situation has been created. RELEVANT MARKET The parties are active in the supply of motorsports activities mainly on their motor- racing circuits. The BHCL circuits are licensed, while MSV’s circuit, Bedford Autodrome is not.1 The parties submit that the only areas of specific overlap are therefore for non- licensed events - the supply of corporate participation days (where companies hire circuits in order to provide motor driving experience days for staff), the supply of track days to final consumers (where circuits are opened to members of the public to drive or hire their own vehicles) and the supply of track time for track days run by TDOs.

As always, your comments, contributions and critique are welcome - Send to me at [email protected] Chairman's Report The Committee has not been idle during this lockdown and is managing issues of the Club virtually to determine the way forward when the Club reopens for business. The Committee is highly appreciative of Ancient Mariners and Honorary members who have forfeited their privilege of no subs, to make a donation for this financial year to assist the Club tackle the financial predicament it finds itself in during this lockdown period. The same appreciation goes towards the 100 club winners who have donated their winnings back to the Club. BZ.

This, once again, is highly appreciated. The good intentions of the above is soured a bit by certain members who have yet to pay their annual subscription. I urge those members to settle their accounts as soon as possible. Jonathan Golding is putting an auction together during this lockdown period to generate funding for the Club. It would appreciated if members support this endeavor as much as possible. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Club, sooner rather than later. Be safe.

  • Investigation Into the the Accident of Richard Hammond
    Investigation into the accident of Richard Hammond Accident involving RICHARD HAMMOND (RH) On 20 SEPTEMBER 2006 At Elvington Airfield, Halifax Way, Elvington YO41 4AU SUMMARY 1. The BBC Top Gear programme production team had arranged for Richard Hammond (RH) to drive Primetime Land Speed Engineering’s Vampire jet car at Elvington Airfield, near York, on Wednesday 20th September 2006. Vampire, driven by Colin Fallows (CF), was the current holder of the Outright British Land Speed record at 300.3 mph. 2. Runs were to be carried out in only one direction along a pre-set course on the Elvington runway. Vampire’s speed was to be recorded using GPS satellite telemetry. The intention was to record the maximum speed, not to measure an average speed over a measured course, and for RH to describe how it felt. 3. During the Wednesday morning RH was instructed how to drive Vampire by Primetime’s principals, Mark Newby (MN) and CF. Starting at about 1 p.m., he completed a series of 6 runs with increasing jet power and at increasing speed. The jet afterburner was used on runs 4 to 6, but runs 4 and 5 were intentionally aborted early. 4. The 6th run took place at just before 5 p.m. and a maximum speed of 314 mph was achieved. This speed was not disclosed to RH. 5. Although the shoot was scheduled to end at 5 p.m., it was decided to apply for an extension to 5:30 p.m. to allow for one final run to secure more TV footage of Vampire running with the after burner lit.
