the car looks a right mess.
he stood no chance
love the ideas:
welsh flag on bonnets
minutes silence on the start grid
gavs dad leading the lap in gavs car(s)
what about a R.I.P JAPMAN sticker in the sax-p font for the rear windows of the cars.
sell them for £1.50 or £2.00 each money made given to charity or something.
sure people wouldent say no.

Is it just me that thinks driving a load of cars round a racetrack isnt the greatest thing to do when he's just died in a car accident? Suppose someone crashed or something, would be terrible!

so it suits it really well.

A lap of honour doesn't mean flying around the track like total dicks mate.
One slow consistent speed is not hard to do
His 3 brothers from another as he used to say are coming to fcs, richard, matthew and jamie, along with his dad. It may still to raw for them to take part and may get more from it if they watch and that's for them to decided. However if they do decided on this we can sort it out who leads am sure

yeah the clio V6 group were on for a lap of honour last year
nice slow drive round to honour him, stop on the grid, engines off for a 2 min silence, then start them back up and rev the cars a bit, would be a nice send off especially with the welsh flag on the car etc

i hope the officials of fcs will allow us to stop engines. 1 min silence.
i am pleased about the response about the welsh flag over the bonnets. i have already brought mine.
i hope Simo could get some stickers made * R.I.P gav / Japman *
get 200+ made. sell them at the show for people to buy and all the money at the end of the day goes to gav's dad.
as said drive carefully everyone

R.I.P. Japman, thoughts are with your family and friends.
Never spoke to you i don't think, but the comments in this thread bring a tear to your eye when you read them.
If the memorial lap goes ahead, could i ride shotgun with someone, as i'll be at FCS but my car won't be, so i can't take part myself?
