John Crossle

Some very sad news today that legendary racing car constructor John Crossle passed away last night.

RIP to one of Ireland's finest.

John was a real gentleman. His cars were built to win but also to be useable by clubmen as well as by stars. One of my favourite memories is of sitting belted and helmeted in my 40F at Mondello, with the car being repaired for the last race of the day by a posse of spannermen led by John Crosslé himself. RIP John, it was a privilege to have known you.

Very sad news indeed. I have many fond memories of our Formula E visits to race at Kirkistown, always a memorable weekend and always a warm welcome from all...especially the Crossle family who entertained us at the factory on the Sunday... RIP John.

Our Kirkistown visits were wonderful days of racing and general madness that ended up at the calming sanctuary of the Crossle Works in Hollywood before getting the Ferry back to Liverpool. John opened up the factory to us all and was a fantastic host. He even forgave the PRS being on the driveway

A lovely man and a brilliant engineer. RIP John Crossle.

... my favourite bit - when you get older it takes you two or three days to do a day's work !
