Yes, that's very sad.
Good memories of Mr. E in many cars, particularly the Astra and the F5000 Barclays Lola.
As a student, back in 1979, I wrote to him regarding a final year project I had started on 'Sponsorship in Motor Sport'. He seemed the right person to contact! He couldn't have been more helpful.
RIP

Contrary to all the news, the brilliant Guy Edwards is alive and well. Phew. I guess that's what they call fake news...

Too few people live to read - or at least to be aware - of their own obituaries...

Autosport have issued a correction:

I hope he gets to read the many kind words spoken of him, and as such it is perhaps a reminder it's as well to let people hear if you have nice words for them when they're still around!

Worth leaving up, I think, Richard. However, it will be locked.
