R I P - Paul Oakley

Paul Oakley, for so long a loyal and key member of the Autospeed team, passed away on Friday 28 November.

Paul had many roles on the Autospeed team - ranging from repairs and maintenance, to sponsor, to being the friendly face in the Pit Office at St Day and Smeatharpe.  His dedication to Autospeed knew no bounds, and his generous and kind nature made him popular with all.

For many years, Paul had also been a mechanic to BriSCA F2 Stock Car racing legend, 686 Garry Hooper, regularly travelling the length and breadth of the UK as Hooper racked up countless appearances and achieved many honours.  Indeed, when Hooper won the World title at Hartlepool in 1986, it was fitting that Paul Oakley was at his side - the trusted lieutenant - during his finest hour.

The funeral arrangements have now been confirmed, for Wednesday 17 December at 12.15pm, at St Peter's Chapel, Exeter Crematorium, EX2 6EU.
