    So very sad to be saying farewell to a loyal and steadfast friend. Donald and Sue’s have been in my life for many years. We have shared good times and bad but throughout, I could always count upon their support. Donald, you will be so missed. My sincere condolences to Sue and the rest of the family.

    Donald or Mr Day, as I’ve always called him, has been a long standing friend of the family. His determination to never give in, both in life and on the race track were to be admired. I remember walking round Loton Park with him getting advice on braking points. With self preservation in mind, I made a mental note to add another 100 feet on to anything he said! I still ended up sliding all over the corner. However on return to the pits Donald said “perfect, just like Nouvelary!” He will be sadly missed. Sending condolences, love and hugs to Sue (Mrs Day), Mary, Peter and families.
