Paul Warwick sadly lost his life at Oulton Park.

It was a terrible day at Oulton Park 16 years ago and I remember it all too vividly. Those of you who know me well know that I NEVER wish a driver (or anyone else for that matter) "good luck". The reason for this is that the last time I said it was to Paul half an hour before his race. I'm not superstitious but ...

Paul was the younger brother of Derek Warwick and was very much an up and coming talented driver. I got to know him reasonably well by following the whole circus countrywide and spending time as a guest of the teams in the pit lane (before I was a marshal). He was a charming, down to earth young man and always had time to spend with fans in the paddock.

RIP Paul.

Why don't you expand this story a little and put it in the history forum. And relate that to safety, i.e. Kubica and Ham. I'd like to know more about racing at meetings such as that.
