RIP Harry Firth
Passed away yesterday aged 96.
Don't know where to start here. His influence on Australian Motorsport was phenomenal. Will write more later. Thoughts and condolences to his friends and family. |

And people just shook their heads, bit their lips and wondered who would be second". RIP Peter Brock. 1945-2006

RIP Harry - what a life that man has had!
A totally non-bullsh approach and a deep understanding of racing, cars and drivers meant that he was always someone worth listening to. No pretensions, didn't suffer fools either but one hell of a legacy. |

Very sad too see his passing. He was a man who had a very broad reach in Australian motor sport, from rallies to enduros that is not seen these days.

Race In Peace Harry.
Hopefully the VHRR & A7CC can arrange a suitable tribute at the Winton Historic at the end of May for a true legend of our sport in this country. |
