A tragic loss to the sport. I don't think there is anyone who didn't respect his achievements.

Godspeed, Gerry.

God Bless, the most entertaining driver I ever saw & one of the nicest human beings, with a giant heart. He'll be sadly missed, at least he died "the right way".

Sad news. Only had the pleasure of meeting him once, in the bar at Brands before we were due to go to another meeting the next day at Snett. Needless to say myself and my boss were too ****ed to drive after - absolute star on and off the track, one of the real heroes of British racing. Thanks for the memories Gerry, and heres to you! you wont be forgotten in a hurry.

Used to watch him in the Vauxhall from the wrong side of the fence.
Then got to meet him last year what a great Guy.
Thanks Gerry, RIP.

Wasn't he the BMMC President?

Never met Gerry but have heard loads about him, so am very sad at his premature death.

It is sad news indeed...I was lucky enough to be able to see Gerry race at silverstone in november, I won't forget him coming out of woodcote sideways, pointing straight at me on the pit wall.

RIP Gerry.
