BMW 633 Donington Incident Vehicle late 70s

[Gerry Taylor]

After I retired from active racing, I used to spend my weekends driving this car. Lots of fun. This would have been in the late seventies. The boot contained two huge tubs, lightwater and foam. I had a doctor in the passenger seat, sometimes a marshall would come along. Anyone remember it?
Looks like something out of "Ghostbusters" doesn't it.

Assuming it wasn't your everyday vehicle (and nothing at all like a modified Anglia!) How did she go compared to your regular transport

[Gerry Taylor]

How did she go? Well, if I am to be completely honest matey, without all that weight in the boot she would have been very quick, but with all that slopping about behind us, really a handful! I could be up amongst the back row without much trouble ( I never did of course....) and once wound up, it was great fun, but coming into REDGATE!!!!! Ha,ha.
Very happy days indeed though.

I seem to remember the Safety Car/Course Car ending up in the Gravel when the Irish Formula Atlantics were there one year....I don't remember the details though

[Gerry Taylor]

Yeah, you already know that it was me don't you? Too much into Craner, down the hill, too much weight in back, and round she went....fortunately, I kept the engine running, and we drove through it! Imagine the embarrasement, had we had to be towed out!
