Tom Wheatcroft dies.

Very sad to read in the week that Donington lost the British GP, the owner (not the lease owner who ballsed the deal up) and man who restored the track in the 1970s had died aged 87.

RIP.

Thats a shame to hear. The man was a class act, and his collection of cars at Donnington is incredible..
