Denis Jenkinson

We lost Jenks in 1996, but his influence still permeates the magazine. Joining us after the war, he rapidly became racing’s most informed observer touring Europe all season in his Porsche. He knew everyone in racing, from Fl to motorbike clubbies, and his opinion carried real weight. Unafraid to criticise, he told it the way he saw it, and as he had won the Mille Miglia with Stirling Moss, people listened.
