Hi
Wouldn't be interesting to have a profile about Tony Trimmer? He was a very good driver, but plagued with some bad choices and those awful Maki's, then dominated Aurora F1, and put some good performances for his whole career, incuding witht he innovative Dome at le Mans

That would be quite an interesting profile. Speaking of DOME, an article on their failed F1 team entry would be interesting as well...

Hmm. I believe I'm correct in saying that Jamie and Enoch are the only ones that do profiles. But if you're really interested in contributing, you should definitely see about doing a piece on Tony for the "Submitted Articles" section on the main website.

Re: Tony Trimmer
Thanks for the suggestion. I also think that some updates can be made to the existing ones
Re: Tony Trimmer
Welcome to the forum Mig007. And I'm sure that Jamie and Enoch would appreciate the help in research, and I would enjoy reading any updates that were made to the existing articles!

Not exactly...Mario wrote the Aston Martin profile, and I believe Mischa Bijenhof did a few as well...

Yeah. Ricardo Rosset returning from retirement in 2008 to finish 2nd in the Brazilian GT3 Championship, scoring 4 wins. He'd go on to win the 2010 Porsche GT3 Cup Brasil title on his first year trying. http://www.driverdb.com/drivers/ricardo-rosset/

Re: Tony Trimmer
Firstly, on the topic of updating existing profiles. Yes, I recognise that some were last touched up to ten years ago (and read like it as well). But after valiantly trying to keep up with the careers of those drivers who remained active (let alone do anything about updating profiles) we decided that it was an impossible task. We'd rather produce new material than spend all our (little) available time tracking the careers of existing profiled drivers. That's also part of the rationale behind the JDD forum - if certain drivers are having interesting post-profile careers, it can be discussed and noted on the forum.
Secondly, as for others doing profiles, I am happy for people to do so, although I would be grateful if people let me know in advance they are working on something. The only two provisos which contributors should be aware of is that: (a) it may take a long time between when a profile is submitted and when I get around to editing and uploading it, and (b) I may end up editing any profile - even quite heavily - for stylistic purposes. Profiles that were originally written by someone other than myself tend to be attributed accordingly on the site.
Thirdly, if anyone does have contacts that could lead to interviews with drivers we are profiling, Jamie and I would be interested to know. We would like to incorporate more interviews with profiles in the future, now that we are moving back in that direction instead of doing regular race reviews.

Re: Tony Trimmer
About profiles, if not anything else I would like to see the summary page updated maybe once in a year.

Hi, have you recieved my message?
Re: Tony Trimmer
Well His best result was at the rain-soaked 1978 non-championship BRDC international trophy at Silverstone when he finished third against serious F1 competition. In the same year he won the British Aurora F1 Championship. He now works as a motorsport consultant.
Re: Tony Trimmer
The Aurora champ really deserves a profile. In fact, the whole Aurora series would deserve a tribute on the web. Or maybe, there already is one? Tony Trimmer is the Buddy Lazier of F1.

There is a new really good group on Facebook, with lots of personal photos of the Aurora championship. Some of the drivers are there, contributing their photos as well as talking about it.
