Charles Goulding
The Reigning MSA British Historic Rally Champion died suddenly at the end of December, only two months after clinching the series.
The 52–year-old had rallied for many years but was perhaps better known to Falcon’s as an Autocross Driver, behind the wheel of a Mk 1 Escort. For many years he combined both sports, arriving at Falcon’s last Mursley Autocross in 1995 in a muddy TR8, straight from the finish of a Rally to step behind the wheel of the Escort to win the class.
Charles also achieved notoriety in the Hayward camp, blowing the original Toyota engine in Mike’s Mk 3 Escort to smithereens when Mike lent him the car after Charles had broken down. A man who was larger than life he will be sorely missed.
