Sportscar stalwart Ginger Marshall, 73, retires from prototype racing
Happiness for Hoggard and Hodgson as MSA Junior and Senior karting titles are decided at PFI
Former Special Saloons racer Ginger Marshall has announced his retirement from prototype sportscar racing.
The 73-year-old has raced in the BRSCC’S OSS series since the category began in 2009 and was fourth in the championship last year piloting a Bowlby Mk2.
“Back in 2009, having found ourselves in the wilderness, with a newly built car and nowhere to race it, OSS became a haven of camaraderie and competition,” said Marshall, who has competed in club racing for 56 years with the Marshall & Fraser team. “We’ve had eight incredible seasons, but now it’s time to move on.”
OSS championship coordinator Alan Jenkins added: “The Marshal & Fraser Team has been our most loyal one, having attended nearly every meeting.
