Agree sad loss, saw him race at Mount panorama in the mighty V12 jags XJS, stunning, then win at le mans (on TV only sadly) mates at college will remember the party we had over 24 hrs before exams watching the hourly 10 minute slot on Eurosport.

don't think he did so well in F1, but touring car stuff of legend.

shame about the XJ220.

RIP Tom, a true petrol head.
