Club  Members at Goodwood 2015

The lure of motor racing never seems to end and despite the fact that most of the members of the Grand Prix Drivers Club are now retired from the sport the lure of a drive is still strong.

The annual Goodwood Revival meeting certainly attracts some of our members back behind the wheel mainly because Lord March – himself an honorary member of the Club – is usually able to offer drives in interesting cars.

Guy Ligier

Guy Camille Ligier 12 July 1930 – 23 August 2015

International motor racing and Formula 1 lost one of its greatest and enigmatic characters with the passing of Guy Ligier.

If one wanted to write a Hollywood script about a racing driver who started out with nothing, went on to race in Formula 1 late in life and then to found and run his own grand prix team then the Ligier story would be easy to adapt for the screen.
