R.I.P Will Hoy- 4 years on
Four years ago today, Will Hoy passed away as a result of a brain tumour. I can remember watching the BTCC on TV and watching Will driving beautifly, even if it didn't amount to win as much as he'd liked. A great driver, a nice guy, he is sorely missed.
R.I.P Will, 1953-2002. |

It was a great shock to me at the time, as I knew nothing of his illness. Will was one of my favourites in BTCC and his Silverstone win in the wet in early 1998 was a sweet moment indeed.
The racing scene misses him a great deal. RIP Will. |

Will was one of the nicest guys around the BTCC paddock in how he treated his fans. I remember him getting out of his chair at one of those autograph sessions to lift a little kid into the garage and sit him into his car. It was the thrill of a lifetime for the youngster. No matter how far up the professional ladder Will made it, he was always a clubman at heart. A very sad loss.

Will was probably one of the most out going BTCC drivers of them all,the best always leave first. Lets not forget his family,especially Carolyn his wife,probably a little known fact,but Carolyn used to organize days out at Silverstone for Terminaly Ill and Dissabled Children.We have a lot of good memories from those days Carolyn.Thankyou.
