Stephen Jewell obituary

July 7, 2014

Cheltenham-based Bugatti racer Stephen Jewell died following a practice accident during the VSCC’s annual race meeting at Snetterton (see also Simon Arron’s column, p165). The T35B of Jewell (63) was in a collision with another car on the Senna Straight; the Bugatti was sent into the barriers and Jewell was thrown out. He received immediate medical attention before being transported to hospital, but later died from his injuries. Jewell previously enjoyed sprint and hill climb success in his ex-Bobby Rahal F2 Chevron B48.
