Jonny Dumfries RIP
I just saw the rather shocking news that the Marquis of Bute-who raced as Johnny Dumfries-has died. https://www.scotsman.com/news/uk-new...ged-62-3174340
Maybe not the absolute fastest of all time,but known as one of the nicest blokes ever to sit in a racing car.Condolences to his family and friends. |

Always seemed a thoroughly nice bloke and of course a Le Mans winner. I'll always remember the RLM commentary the following year when he had trouble with his car... Ian Titchmarsh, I think - 'Last year's winner, this year's mechanic....'
Much too young. RIP Johnny. |

R.I.P. Johnny
Was always happy to talk to race fans around the paddocks in the 80's. |

Can’t believe it. Not the best driver, but one who did his best under the circumstances and has a career that most would be proud of. F1 points scorer and LM winner. RIP

RIP Johnny.
Lovely guy - quite full of life and a positive outlook too. Gone far too early. |

I did enjoy the Beyond the Grid podcast with him last year. Really had quite a humble look at his career. Still can’t believe he’s gone at only 62

Sad news. I do remember him tearing the rest of the field apart in F3. Rookie season in F1 alongside Senna is a pretty tough gig.
Too young. |
