THE GREATS BEHIND THE GRIDS
GERRY MARSHALL TROPHY (races 1, 2 & 15)
British racing’s greatest showman (1941-2005) raced a Lotus Elan at Goodwood in 1966, and starred in early Revivals. Gerry’s panache lives on in enthusiasts’ memories, but he was still a force in the pre-1983 Group 1 era covered in his races. Chevrolet Camaros, Boss Mustangs, Ford Capris and Escorts, Triumph Dolomite Sprints, BMW, Volkswagens and Minis – where Marshall started in the mid 1960s – grace the pack, amid which son Gregor proudly competes in his beloved Vauxhall Firenza ‘droopsnoot’.
