It is with Sadness that we note the passing of Hugh Chamberlain at the end of February. Hugh was an outstanding figure in Endurance motorsport running cars from Group C, Lotus, Viper, TVR and Lola to name a few. At Le Mans Hugh could always be relied upon to appear on Radio LM at some point to eloquently regale everyone about the trials and tribulations of the race, in his own unique and to the point way. Hugh with his contacts at the ACO was also instrumental in getting the T400's accepted for TVRs return to the Greatest Race. On a personal level I was Lucky enough to meet and Chat to Hugh a number of times including at Sebring with the Purple Monsters the wide bodied T400's. The stories he has are legendary. I last saw him at the NEC for the autosport show and over a pint or two was told many a story about getting the TVR's into Le Mans, with a little slight of hand. Its often said of people when they pass that there will never be another like them and in Hugh Chamberlains case it's definitely True. Im sure you will Join me and the TVRCC Committee in sending condolences to Hugh's Friends and family.
