I'm sorry to say I heard some very sad news today in that multiple HillClimb Champion and all round sportsman, Tony Marsh has sadly passed away.
He was widely known for his Hillclimb prowess, being instrumental in the design of the Gurston Down venue amongst others but had also excelled in many other disciplines including a Lemans Class win, Formula 2, F1 GP, Shooting, Yachting, flying and even Bob Ski... A man for all seasons.
His connections with the GTD40 Car Club go way back and he built and developed a GTD40 Mk11 - powered by a twin-turbo Rovercraft V8 that he'd previously run in a single seater. With 630+BHP and a Hewland transaxle it was a seriously quick car - achieving good results in the Brighton Speed Trials and also on the hills.
I'm sure we all wish his beloved and other family members and friends our deepest sympathy and condolences at this sad time.
