Barrie "Whizzo" Williams RIP
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2018 9:13 am
I was shocked to learn that Barry "Whizzo" Williams had passed away yesterday when announced by Lord March at the Goodwood Revival.
Series 1 folk maybe unaware that Barry drove Adrian Van Der Krofts Series 1 at the Silverstone Classic in 2009. They were competing in the the BRDC 500 pre war sports car race. Peter Horsman and I were driving my (then) Series 1 4-4 LM and was amazed to see that Barry had posted a time 4 secs quicker than any of us. Remarkable.
Adrian and Barrie's race came to a premature end when a wheel collapsed whilst Barrie was driving, if my memory serves me right?
Adrian's rapid series 1 as driven by Whizzo Williams
RIP Barrie.
