The face and voice of Tiff Needell are very familiar to those who follow all classes of motorsports. From the moment his father first took him to Goodwood there was only one thing Tiff wanted to be – a racing driver. He worked his way up through the national racing scene to become a Formula Ford Champion in 1975, and finished second in his first ever Formula One race. He has contested 14 Le Mans 24 Hour races, driving the Lister Storm in ’96 and ’97, which was sponsored by Newcastle United Football Club. Tiff ended his time at Lister with a hat-trick of victories in the British Championship. He has also been one of the stars of the Goodwood Revival meetings, driving a 1957 Lister Jaguar.
