Sadly passed away recently. A racing journalist, he carried on in the field, right up to his death. An author of three top books, he was one of motorsport's top after-dinner speakers and still had the occasional test drive. However, a big crash at the Nurburgring in 2006 (at the incredible age of 89) left him with serious injuries, and although he made a partial recovery and continued to attend events, he never really made a full recovery from his injuries. A memorial was unveiled in 2008 at Spa, where the Stavelot corner has been renamed in Paul's memory.
