Twins in motor racing

Recently Dieter Lamm (b. 1955) and Dave Causey (b. 1930) passed away. They had in common that they had twin brothers: Charly Lamm (still alive) resp. Dean Causey (died in 1987). BTW, Dave and Dean were born in Rhode Island but were adopted by the wealthy Causey family of Indiana.

So, Austin, ehm, Michael, you are only interested in these ones?

The 595 Abart variants of the Fiat 500 were twin-powered, as were the road cars.

Alf and Harry Bargwanna [Australia, born mid-40s?]

Both still racing in Historic Touring Cars.

Michelle and Janine Lourens, South African rally drivers. Born 1992, I think.

Are Damon and Brigitte Hill twins? 

The only twin I know in motorsport [apart from the Bargwanas it appears!] is well into his hobby. Which his twin sister is vehemently opposed too. Other than that they get on well!

Neal and Rick Bates (AUS)

Mick, I've told you a millon times to listen......now I'll have to start on look ! Only 999,999 to go.

Are Damon and Brigitte Hill twins?

No – Brigitte was born in 1959 and Damon in September 1960. However, in Life at the Limit Graham related that, at the F2 race at Roskilde the weekend before Damon was born, Reg Parnell got the race commentators to announce that Graham had just become the father of twins. This was picked up by the media, and messages and gifts suitable for twins started coming in from around the world. He and Bette had a terrible time persuading everyone that they really hadn’t had twins. Perhaps there are still sources out there claiming that Damon is a twin. 

Mick, I've told you a millon times to listen......now I'll have to start on look ! Only 999,999 to go.

Ooops...you have the job in front of you...there are none so blind as those who will not see...and its crook when people don't look

I was born in 1941, Ray, and have known Alf and Harry since around 1960. They are about 3 years younger than I am.
