Vale Diana Gaze
I was saddened to learn overnight of the passing of Diana Gaze on August 6th.
Diana was the wife of racing legend Lex Davison, mother of racers Jon and Richard as well as grandmother of the current crop of Davison’s we have racing today. After the death of Lex she remarried Tony Gaze another racing legend. She was a handy steerer of a race car herself and attended and competed in many historic race meetings. She will be missed by all that not only knew her but knew of her and her exploits over the years. I extend my, and my families, sincere condolences to Tony Gaze and the extended Davison family at this time. |

I'll never forget that Austin 7 she drove round the Gabba....
(oops, sorry, that in-joke belongs on a another forum I lurk on) She was one of the great Ladies of Australian Motorsport. I hope the VHRR are able to make something happen as a tribute to her this weekend, even if only a minutes silence during one of the Parades ? (ponders if an ex- Davison or Gaze owned or raced car will be there this weekend.) Condolences to the entire Davison and Gaze families. |
