We just learned that former Titan works driver Derek Lawrence passed away on March 19th after a long battle with cancer. Derek's first race car was a Mk4 titan. He moved onto a Mk6 in 1970 and teamed up with Ken Bailey to form Team Titan in 1972 with two new Mk6s. We have posted a short tribute and photos on the www.titancars.com homepage. I first met Derek at the 2000 reunion at Gingerman Raceway, and I was lucky enough to spend some time with him at his country home in England. He was a talented driver and gentleman with a typically English sense of humor. He will be missed.
