Yes, exactly.
I was at Snetterton for BTCC & on the Sunday morning commentator Brian Jones called for two minutes' silence. The circuit was crammed with race cars & people but you genuinely could have heard a pin drop. Ayrton spent much of his early career based in Norfolk, racing for Van Diemen in FF1600 & then Rushen Green in FF2000 before returning to drive for Team Lotus in F1, so he was well-known locally.
