I only found out Leslie was in that plane today and I'm gutted.

He was a crazy man in BTCC, always using liberal amounts of contact, and bearing grudges - in other words, great to watch

Yeah very sad news, I remember Leslie from when I first got into BTCC, during the 90s when it was just unbelievable to watch. 20-odd cars flying through dingle dell at brands hatch FTW.
