Henry Hope-Frost RIP

Post by Pete »

Really sad to hear of the tragic death of Henry Hope-Frost today. Henry as many will know was the anchor for all the television interviews and live coverage from Goodwood, and at the Autosport Show, a brilliant and knowledgable interviewer with a great sense of humour. A big loss to motorsport and Goodwood will never be the same. RIP.

Very sad news indeed, and to think he was only Tweeting today from Goodwood during testing for next weekends members meeting.

I also think he was young enough to bring motorsport history to a younger audience in a very fresh way with lots of humour in the mix. A rare talent and he made a big impact on many people. Very very sad.

This is terrible news. Always found his commentary excellent and enthusiastic with a genuine love for what he was doing.
Such a real shame to be taken so young.

Very sad, his interviews were always fun and informative I'm sure he will have a fitting tribute at the Members Meeting, condolences to his family and friends
