I was fortunate enough to stumble across the great clip of the late great Christophe Hissette as he skilfully hustles his away around what was his regular hunting ground; The Dubai Autodrome.

As every day goes by our memories of Christophe do not diminish and it is fair to say that the motorsport scene in the Middle East and especially the track scene in the UAE would not be what it is today without people as passionate and and dedicated to the cause as he was. An amazingly talented young man of which there was no question, he was also a guy that you couldn’t help but like and be drawn in by his charisma and infectious humour.

I sat and revelled in this great clip – I hope you do to!

RIP Christophe, our thoughts, throttle pedals and love is with you and your family.
