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).

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.

What about David Tennyson? Drove the Denon sponsored Spice back in the '90s in IMSA.

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.

Pffff terrible disease.
I've always wondered what John could have achieved in indycars without the legal problems. He was very impressive in his early years.

Who knows?

Didn't he disappear in 2001? Haven't heard anything about him since.

Stumbled across some archived pictures of BMS Italia Scuderia at Jarama in 2002 (?). Anyone know what Enzo Calderari, Lillian Bryner and Fabrizio Gollin are doing these days? Haven't heard of them racing for quite some years especially Calderari and Bryner.

The last that I had heard John Paul SN was on the run from the law somewhere in the Bahama's came back to the USA did some time and ended up in Canada .

Last I had heard about Andy Evans one time owner of IMSA The Fed's were about to take him down and he also landed somewhere in Vancover B.C. Canada .

Not sure if any of the Whitington Brothers are still alive they also were in Big Trouble with the Law .

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

Good to hear. The last interview I read with him he didn't like to talk about his racing days for whatever reason, but he'd just bought a Porsche 918.

And previous to that I think the last I'd heard about him was several years ago when he got in a scuffle with someone at the Swap Shop and then fled from the police on a golf cart before being tasered and then kicking out the window of a patrol car, mind you he was in his mid 70's at the time.

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.
