Roy Winklemann
I today heard from Bob Winklemann that his brother Roy passed away peacefully last Saturday night, you can Google Roy's name to find out about his achievements as a racer and team owner, one of which was to discover Jochen Rindt.

Thank you, Tim; a great contributor to the racing scene, with his Winklemann Racing Team, particularly in the 1960's in UK and Europe with his F2 team. Alan Rees also drove for him.
RIP, Roy |

For anyone who is interested there are a couple of pages about Roy in a pdf copy of German GP issue 86. I'm not sure about the copyright for a direct link but if anyone wants to see it PM me and I'll email it to you. It's a fascinating read.

I lived near burnham in my youth, Roy Winkleman built and owned Burnham Lanes 10 pin bowling alley,one of the first in the uk,Racing team was based in the basement below the lanes and ball/pin machines very noisy,he also opened a club in the building,great to drink after the pubs shut,dont forget drink driving had not been invented!!! Bob the barber had his saloon in the foyer and Frank Williams was about a mile away,what with .Lola etc this was a real motor racing hot spot. Many top names in grand prix passed through the Bowling Alley doors!!
