What ever happened to....?
Hello, i have started this thread so that we can ask about people or things that used to be common place in & around sportscar racing but are no longer "apparent".

Ill start by asking whatever happened to Jamie Davies, he always seemed fairly quick and getting decent drives (Vitaphone MC12, BMS Scuderia Italia etc).

Alex Brundle. He was going places and is now pretty much taking the year off; health problems?

Is this for later in the year? He didn't run at Daytona or Sebring. I'm hoping to see Alex in the Ford GT's next year.

Tennyson's dad owned the import/distribution rights to Denon in the Ontario (maybe all of eastern Canada) region and the '90s weren't exactly kind to the high end stereo makers. Last I heard he had followed his family into the corporate world. He was a good driver that often gets overlooked in a pretty amazing crop of Canadian drivers.
I used to love watching him and Goodyear, Bye, Spenard and the rest of the 944 cup.

Welcome to the forum!


This thread is pretty interesting! Even if a lot of the questions end up unanswered, it is nice to remember some of these old fellows.

Jamie Davies is (still?) working at Turnspeed. He's got a protected Twitter acc @JamieDavies888 , no idea how active he is on there. He did some driver coaching stuff, but no more racing, I think.

Not sure what Doc is doing now. Here's an interview I did with him late in his career. He is one of the most genuinely friendly guys that I've ever met.

He was a popular local driver near Road Atlanta with good prototype experience. He had driven the Corvette GTP and, at the time of this interview at the first Petit Le Mans, he was driving the Panoz Hybrid, Sparky. I was interested in both cars and drives and here's Doc telling great stories...

Don't recall hearing his name this year, but the last two Mittys at Road ATL, think Doc Bundy won a class or two. So I believe he's at least tooling around in historics. That or I need another cup of coffee.

There's no better name in motorracing (or anything for that matter) than Willy T. Ribbs.

Good thread!

What ever happened to Lord Drayon and Jonny Cocker?

I know that they departed from their Lola to attempt to develop some sort of electric sportscar, but I've not heard anything since then.
