Motor Racing History: Death of Paul Warwick

July 21, 1991 - Paul Jason Warwick from Alresford, Hampshire, England was an English racing driver. Paul Warwick perished at the fifth event of the season at Oulton Park. The win was awarded posthumously as he was leading the race when the accident took place. Paul scored enough points in the races he had contested to allow him to win the British Formula 3000 championship. The car left the circuit at the notorious Knickerbrook right hand corner and slammed almost perpendicular into the outer circuit armco barrier unabated at 140 miles per hour (approximately 224 km/h). The car disintegrated and Paul was ejected from the car in the accident. Investigations concluded a front wishbone failure caused the crash.
