Folks it is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Tom Smith yesterday, aged 63.

Tom was a lifelong rally enthusiast whose contributions to our community spanned decades. He joined the BSCC in 1986 and was our BRISPORT editor from 1988 to 1995 and honoured with a Life membership in 1996.

Tom also wrote for Rallysport News; served on the Queensland rally panel (QRAP) in the late ’90s and was on the BSCC board for many years. An accomplished co-driver who always had his helmet ready, Tom was deeply committed to the sport of rallying and will be remembered with respect and affection by all who knew him.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family. Rally in Peace, Tom.
