  • Alain de Cadenet RIP

    From Mr Gobrien@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 6 13:04:08 2022
    British racing driver Alain de Cadenet has died aged 76.

    Wikipedia - He made his reputation building and driving his own sports prototypes, taking on works teams and occasionally beating them. In 1972, he persuaded Duckhams Oil to sponsor a car he commissioned Gordon Murray to design for the Le Mans 24 Hour
    race. De Cadenet finished 12th overall. In 1976 he finished 3rd overall at Le Mans. In 1980, with co-driver Desiré Wilson, he won two rounds of the World Sportscar Championship —the Monza 1000 kilometers and Silverstone 6 hour events.
