Long time FSAE, F Hybrid and Formula Student Judge Doug Gore passed away recently.
He had a fall at home where he lived alone and was regretfully unable to attend FSAE, the first event he had missed for 20 years since being recruited by Carroll Smith.
He passed away peacefully from complications from his injuries.
Doug was famous for his ability to talk with students at their own level and is shown here talking with the team leader from Erlangen after that team won Design in Austria in 2011.
Doug was a dear friend of mine. We had parallel interests in many things and shared a sense of humour. I will miss him.

Edit,
I have added another picture to support Claude's post. This was taken at 2am as Doug was hands on trying to get a team mobile before the Enduro!
