Really awful news. Truly, Mike was one of the "good guys" in racing. He was in a large part responsible for the decision to race our Gilbern, and had helped us out on numerous occasions in the past few years - most notably at Spa when he was able to lend us a replacement half shaft for the Six Hours! We owe him a great deal of thanks.
The last time I saw Mike was in Portimao at the end of last year, where once again he came to my aid, helping to change the Gilbern's head gasket. Mike was on good form, sharing a class podium in Simon Orebi-Gann's Morgan SLR, a marked improvement after a disappointing Six Hours. The relaxed schedule of the meeting allowed plenty of time to chat with Mike, and it's very sad to know that there won't be the opportunity to do so again.
RIP Mike
