Eric Plimmer 1959 - 2011

Simon Gardner · Dec 23, 2011

Some of you may remember Eric Plimmer, a club event regular thoughout 2010 and early 2011 who also competed in RDTCC season 6 with Over Rev Racing (below) and was often on teamspeak.

It is with great regret that I must inform you that Eric lost his battle with cancer on Wednesday 21st December.
Rest In Peace friend,

We were talking about Eric last night and then came a thought: As a tribute we're naming the most beautiful corner in Alpine Hills as Plimmer's Turn.

Bjorn de Haas · Dec 24, 2011

I had the honour to talk with him and race with him the last few weeks of his life. We lost a real gentleman and a great person.
I will miss him and still am speechless

Rest in peace Eric and strength to people who loved him. I lost my grandfather and grandmother with this disease and I know the suffering it causes in all (friends and family). I do not know him personally but the quantity of messages posted here, and the tributeon the main page it is clear that he was much beloved here.

Gary Lennon · Dec 26, 2011

I can remember being on track with Eric so this is sad news to see we lose one of our own.

RIP Eric bro

Mark Gormley · Dec 26, 2011

I only raced wth Eric a few times, by which I mean I would catch a glimpse of him up ahead only on particularly long straights; one of those chaps I aspired to be as quick as. I hope we get a club race around the Alpine Hills sometime soon.

Rest in peace mate.

Jarbas Melo · Dec 26, 2011

My condolences to his family and friends.

Eckhart von Glan · Dec 26, 2011

raced him in that season pictured, very sad news indeed, tragic how real life catches up, feels strange to still have replays on my harddrive of that tournie with Eric on them.
