Spencer Flack
I am saddened to learn that Spencer was killed driving his BRM at Philip Island, Australia, yesterday.
His name will be well-known to followers of historic racing in the UK and Europe for his many successes in a wide variety of historic open-wheelers and sportscars over the past few years. |

This is dreadful.
I only met Spencer Flack on one occasion - when he was celebrating his victory in the VSCC Amschel Rothschild Memorial Trophy last year. I remember him being thrilled that he had brought Amschel's old BRM home first to take the prize. He was a tough racer, that's for sure, but he raced with mechanical sympathy and an appreciation of the intrinsic importance of the machines he was using. That the BRM P25 will have been damaged would have been something he would have regretted. But compared to a man's life, the car is as nothing. I'm deeply sorry to realise I'm not going to see his distinctive form in the Silverstone paddock again. |

Spencer Flack
I was really shocked to hear of the death of Spencer Flack. He has been much in the historic racing news here in the UK after he successfully sued Jeffrey Pattison. Sad that he didn't live long enough to enjoy his victory. I hope he is still giving Pattison the finger salute in Heaven. At least he died doing something he loved...R.I.P. Spencer.

Quite right.
