There will be more, much more, later this week and into next but for just now, on a day that meant so much to him, all at DSC want to mark the massively untimely passing of David Stephens, motorsport photographer, archivist and all-round enthusiast.

DSC regulars will have seen David’s work on the site from the very beginning, and on our predecessor sites before that.

One of the things that David held dear was recording all of the team group pictures passing through scrutineering, almost every photograph of that ilk you have seen on DSC was shot by David.

RIP from absolutely everyone here to ‘Captain Black’ and our profound condolences to his family, sister Debs (who, rather appropriately took the lovely shot of David above), his wonderful mum and Gary and to his many, many friends in the sport and beyond, in particular to David Blumlein. We’re all missing him today, and will continue to do so.
