I'm very sorry to have to tell everyone that Colin Thorpe has passed away unexpectedly on Friday 19 July 2013.
Colin was very well known in the Monoposto Racing Club and in the whole UK single seater racing scene, over many years. His son Olly has been a very successful race driver in Monoposto and other series in recent seasons, among other awards winning the Ray Dackombe Memorial Trophy. Many people will also remember Colin's son Moss Thorpe who died at a very young age when he was on the brink of a successful career as a professional race driver.
Colin was also a very long standing personal friend, who gave me a tremendous amount of help and support at various stages of my own racing career.
Very sincere condolences to Colin's family, and especially to his children, at this unexpected tragedy.
I will provide details about the funeral arrangements when I have them.
