Very sorry to hear the news, I was only wondering about how he was at the weekend. I didn't know Terry that well but he seemed a nice bloke and wasn't afraid to do something a bit different from the rest. RIP Terry. My thoughts are with his family.

I was aware that Terry was in a very poor state of health. I hope he is at peace now.

I am sure he is already looking at space framing the angels harps.

To his family the condolences of Maggie, myself and all of the Watts family.

He has been and now forever will be, missed from the Paddock

As with many people he probably never knew how many friends he had.

We will commerate him at Pembrey.

A great Rallycross enthusiast and a genuienly nice guy always keen to have chat about the sport. Rallycross on a bank holiday at Lydden will never be quite the same.
Condolences to Val and the rest of the family.

RIP Terry

Very sad news- I started watching rallycross at Lydden and Brands around 1989/90, when he was running the Mazda 323- as Bert said, he was never afraid to try something slightly different to the rest

Condolences to Terry's family and friends

Rallycross has lost a true character, one of the old school, always willing to try to fabricate, engineer, and build something different. he will be greatly missed.
Thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Terry.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Terry. In the few years I have been involved with rallycross he became one of those people who you just always knew would be there, especially at Lydden.

I will remember him most fondly for the puddle of water that used to always manage to find itself under the Clio, when Terry and his lads would be manically changing yet another head gasget.

Rest in Peace mate, i'll keep an eye out for a spaceframe in the clouds!

Very sad to hear this news, raced alongside his lad Nick, and always had a laugh with Terry and wondered what car he would bring to a meeting next.
RIP Terry
Condolences to Nick and the rest of the Briggs family
