689/189 Johnny Marquand.

The 1965 Brisca F2 World Champion, Johnny Marquand, has died.

The first Cornish World Champion, and the first true dominant force in the sport too. Many people of a certain age put him ahead of the likes of Batten, Moodie and Speak - and all this in a time, when every car had to be hit, no pullovers!

Coming from the little hamlet of Notter Bridge near Saltash his legacy of one of the sports first superstars will live forever in the history of the sport.
