From the Parr Motorsport Brands Hatch report:
In the light of the recent tragedies in New York and Washington many people considered it strange that we were out in the sunshine enjoying a day’s motorsport at all. A minute’s silence was observed with heartfelt dignity, while a number of the teams had made known their sentiments by marking their cars in some way. This was especially significant to Parr Motorsport, and to Matt Turner in particular. Matt had been in subdued mood all weekend, but wanted to express his thanks for the many kind words he’d received over the days at Brands Hatch. “I feel bad about being over here and speeding around in a racing car while friends back home have other things on their minds. It doesn’t seem right,” he said. “A lot of the drivers have been coming up to me and saying really nice things, being very supportive. It’s been hard to get motivated this weekend, and it’s been reassuring to receive all these humanly gestures from fellow competitors, so I’d like to say thank you to those people.”
Both the Parr cars carried small black-framed Stars and Stripes on their radio antennae in a mark of respect. |
