Whilst at the HSRCA Summer Festival, I interviewed Dr Michael Henderson, a motor sport safety pioneer.
Dr Henderson was interested in motor sport while at university. He met many people who significantly influenced motor sport as we know it today. He can be included in that group as he invented the six-point racing harness that has saved countless lives.
Dr Henderson also worked with other engineers, Pininfarina and Ferrari to develop the Sigma safety concept racing car. Many of the design features have found themselves in race cars over time.
The interview was held with historic racing in the background so sometimes the cars take centre stage!
