Whitelock Mark

Mark Whitelock’s enthusiasm for motor sport was first sparked when his father took him to Goodwood on Easter Monday 1957.

His knowledge of the sport grew over the 1960s giving him a special affinity with the 11⁄2-litre Formula 1. By the early 1990s he had become disillusioned by contemporary Grand Prix racing and turned his attention to historic racing in which he already had an interest, having been a keen supporter of the revival of motor sport at Goodwood. He retired from a career in Banking in 1999 to his East Sussex home and began writing for pleasure.
