I'm completely gutted. Met Christian a few times and got along with him really well. Last time was at Barcelona just weeks ago, and was looking forward to seeing him again at Pau next w/end where he was to race the Mini.
Really really hard to take in. Thoughts are with The Deveraux family, the Beightons also involved, plus the marshals and emergency services who had to deal with the incident. A really sad day. |

My condolences to his family and friends and thank you to the marshals, rescue and medical staff who attended the scene.

Over 12 hrs since the first confirmation of the accident and I still feel numb. I don't think any of us knew much about Christian, from memory he only started racing in 2009, and always in Minis. He was a family man, Managing Director of Hexagon Motorcycles in London and I would guess also involved in Dale Motorsport in Battle, Sussex, who prepared his and other Minis. Always ready for a chat at circuits and enthusiastic to the core.
Pau will seem 'wrong' next weekend knowing that Christian was due to race there, but hopefully we can remember him appropriately and still get on with the racing. Again, condolences to the Deveraux family and friends. I'm sure the thoughts and prayers of the whole historic racing world are with you. Last edited by John Turner; 12 May 2013 at 09:41. |

Had my B been ready after 09,we had planned for him to do the six hour together Mike.How Christian came over to those who had spoken to him,was pretty much how he always behaved,one of the nicest racers around. |
