I'm not his spokesman but.....He's leaving the mad world of motorsport behind him. It's more sad than 'interesting'!

Agree, its sad in many ways, but on a lighter side one wonders how long he can last without a fix! He's spent many a year on the merry go round of motorsport!
I'm sure the others involved in Masters will keep things "motoring" on! |

I have heard that Christopher clashed with some racers but personally have to agree with you John. Will miss his race briefings and prizegivings definitely!

News to me Mike but I suppose you can't please everyone. He was great to work with and a very loyal and supportive colleague. I certainly envy his style 'behind the mike'

Christopher Tate did clash with his customers and many will not be sad to hear the news.
Thats the way it was. Best of luck Ron and the troops. |

Funny story though at Monteblanco. I told their race director that I didn't speak Spanish. He said "It's OK - Senor Tate says you speak French. I said yes - who here speaks French?. He laughed and said 'Nobody' |

I have not been into 10/10ths lately and havent really posted these last few days. I may well be speaking out of turn ....whats new Im gonna miss him with regards to Masters to tell you the truth, his wit is as dry as a desert at times and he is very sharp without doubt..... he is bloody good at what he does (although sometimes....we need clarification of actually what that is!) but seriously, he is a great personality within Motorsport and I do hope (and I mean this) that he will still keep one or two fingers in the great motorsport pie. I for one wish him all the very best success in whatever his new role is. Good Luck Mr Tate |

Sorry, Peter. Should have mentioned that the HSCC Donington 20th March date replaces the provisional 2nd April date.

Late Algarve is ,I understand,Legends,Carol Spagg,etc No Masters.
With Carols three races and Legends two thats a start.Pre 63 GT,U2LTC. The new 1000 K's Carol series seems like a good place for B8's,16's and Merlyns . |
