We complete our conversation with Derek Warwick. We talk more about his Formula One career and his stellar sportscar drives which brought him a World Championship and a win at Le Mans. Regular contributor Les Thacker tells us about Derek’s early days in the Toleman Formula Two team which led to the amazing exploits in Grand Prix racing, all under Les’s BP Motorsport banner. We also hear from John Mayhead who talks about ‘Goldie’ Gardener who was perhaps the least known, but in some ways the most successful record breakers of the ’30s 40s and who was still breaking LSRs in the 1960s.
Derek Warwick
Derek Warwick remembers his times in the junior formulae, also as a Le Mans winner and right up to date as a Driver Steward at Formula One races around the world. Goodwood TT winner, Mike Whitaker, gives Paul Jurd the lowdown on seven years of trying to get his TVR onto the top of the charts and Bob Evans recalls his career which saw him driving in Formula One for BRM and Lotus. His views on some of the 1970s team managers is worth a listen on its own!
