One of the best Porsche drivers of his era, Fitzpatrick enjoyed victories in Europe and the United States, successfully claiming the prestigious Porsche Cup three times during his racing career.
In recent years John has attended a number of Regional events and has now kindly agreed to share some of his stories on his journey through ‘My Life at the Wheel’ in a virtual evening open to all Club members.
John’s racing career began in his teens and spanned 35 years, progressing from an 850 Mini to driving the mighty Porsche 956. There were many seasons in between, competing in Ford Escorts and other interesting marques with a sixth in class at Nurburgring in 1967 driving a Porsche 911 marking the beginning of his love of our favourite brand.
