It is with great sadness that I have to report that our former Club Arnage and Radio Le Mans pit reporter Janice Minton has finally lost the fight against a long term illness.
Janice worked for us in the CA editorial team in the late 1990's and was pit reporter for Radio Le Mans before that. She won the prize for the best team press officer at Le Mans in one of the years that she was with Nasamax, I think it was 2003. Always a fount of accurate and dependable knowledge, she was a joy to have on our team. My best recollection of her was in her 'helmet spotting'. She kept an up to date record of all driver's helmet colours and designs. 'Janice's list' was a marvellous asset and always a source of 'ooerr' moments when she dashed off to "ask so-and-so driver to show me his helmet".
Jokingly known as 'mummy' or 'auntie Janice' to the CA team, she always had time to come and chat, even when she wasn't working directly with us, and would always be welcoming with tea and cakes in her hospitality unit at Silverstone.
Goodbye Janice, you will always be remembered, especially in the middle week of June each year.
