Like poor old David Haynes in His Lotus 15 back in 2003. Terrible.

RIP Derek, we raced against him a few times in France, a lovely chap and a great Mini enthusiast and racer.
his was the blue Innocenti and I am chasing

Its a tragic loss , hopefully there will be some small consolation for his family that he died doing something he loved. It certainly doesn't appear that it was the impact that killed Denis. Stu captured him beautifully at Brands few years back..

Nice photo here aswell...

Was there as well.it happened right in front of us ,on the Fangio hairpin,and yes it was a heart attack which caused him to crash,very sad news indeed,and respect to all the other drivers in Denis plateau who drove a lap of honour for him before a minutes silence was held. Before the actual race took place


And johnv was it you with the snowberry white/black cooper?
