Re: RIP Tom Walkinshaw
did he still subsidise Glaws or did he sell them to someone else - if he did then where is their dosh coming from next?
Re: RIP Tom Walkinshaw
TW a motorsport legend as the mastermind of Jaguar's sports car programme, and it's multiple championships. Also involved with the equestrian world, as well as rugby through Glaws and his work on behalf of the premiership clubs.
A real dynamo, he will be greatly missed by many involved with sport.

He was a real force in the early development of pro rugby union,I echo what has been said, a loss to sport,condolences to his family.

Nothing beat seeing a purple and white TWR Jaguar winning though.
RIP.
