I didn’t know Neil, but if it’s any consolation to his parents and family, his short life was enjoyed to the full, supported by family and friends. Neil “lived” the dream of many young boys.

A very small precentage of young sports stars, in many sports, unfortunately become victims of accidental or natural incidents that bring their adrenaline filled lives to a premature end.

We would not have the enjoyment of motorsport without the brave enthusiastic drivers of all ages.

Great tribute site to Neil. Myself and Mick M often talk about him and the good memories! Will never forget i was stuck for a kart before an important race and i called him to ask could i rent one of his old ones as he had moved on to Formula Ford, he said “you can’t rent it but you can borrow it” that was the kind of guy he was!

He lives on and won’t be forgotten.

Dear All
I was Neils team manager at Van Diemen and I always take time when at Oulton Park to go that corner and stand and have a little chat with Neil, I no we had a very special young driver in Neil who was going to be a great Champion and to have him taken away so soon was and always will be somthing I will never get used to, he was a fun cheeky Irish chappy who with James Courtney made an awsome team, when they were not in the cars they were both driving me mad, I was so happy until the accident we all were, I miss you Neil and the worst part is I no you were going to be a masive Star. nothing will take away the pain all who new you felt and still feel, I will come and find you when I get up there mate XXXX

I hope the passing of time has eased your burden.
The high regard with which Neil was helds still very much alive today. Best wishes to all your family for the future.

I have to be honest I had never heard of Neil until I learnt of his tragic death on YouTube – he was obviously a great talent. The bottom line is this – Here in 2011, were Neil still racing, then ALL of us would have heard of him!
