Tim French was a young man with cancer who always wanted to drive the Alfa Romeo 1600 GT, that his father had purchased for him, around a race track, so his parents arranged a drive at the Driver Training Day.  Tim told his parents that it was one of the best days of his life.  Soon after that Tim passed away so his parents arranged this trophy in Tim’s memory.  His father, Kevin French, is usually invited to present this trophy at our annual trophy presentation dinner.
