Was looking for some nostalgia on google and came across this. To be fair to Mark Shaw, he didn't enjoy just being a racing driver, he packed it in himself because he didn't think he was doing well enough to make it all the way- could have kept going in F3000 or sportscars if he'd wanted and pretty sure he had podiums and poles in Italian F3000 in last season.
We ran him for a while, and on his day he was as quick as anyone, he just didn't have enough of those days consistently and I thought he suffered at times from not having done any karting. Hard racer all the same. Always on good terms with the boys in the team, and wasn't shy of helping to wash the truck, which is ok by me! Haven't heard from him for years, so if anyone knows where he is, let me know - off to dig up some more old names now...
