David Wilkie

David’s interest and passion for motorsport began in the early 1970s while he was still at school. His first race meeting was in 1975, an AMOC event at Silverstone, followed a couple of weeks later by his first Grand Prix.

David joined sports prototype manufacturer Mallock Racing, working up to managing the works team where he was responsible for building and running the cars.

In 1984, he transferred to RML, working primarily on the C1 Aston Martin and C2 Ecurie Ecosse World Endurance and Le Mans projects. The team achieved significant success, winning the 1986 FIA C2 World Endurance Championship and numerous races, including the 1985 and 1987 C2 class at Silverstone.

Alex Penfold

Alex has a deeply-ingrained love for motorsports and racing machines. Through the medium of games that were love letters to racing, cars, and the legends behind them, and seeking out television broadcasts of Grands Prix as a youngster, Alex has fostered an undying passion for speed, skill and spectacle.

Alex remembers, age 4, that he was lucky enough to get to sit in Calum Lockie’s Mantara LM600EVO in the British GT Championship at Silverstone. Alex drove for the first time in Silverstone’s Rookie Drive experience which began in the very same car park that the Silverstone Museum uses today! Alex has driven everything from John Cooper Works Minis, Abarths, Land Rovers, Mercedes, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, all before age 16!

Simon Furlong

Simon has been a Silverstone Marshall for many years, enabling him to be involved with motor racing and gain an understanding of the rich history of Silverstone. Simon has marshalled a range of races at Silverstone including Formula One, Touring Cars, Formula 3, and classic car racing.

Simon has a particular interest in the evolving design of how Formula One cars have changed over the years, exhibited here at the Silverstone Museum.

Rob Jaina

Rob has been involved in motorsport from a young age. Following a brief time in karts, Rob has been involved in marshalling since the late 1990s. He has been an Incident Officer, looking after the pitlane/start line for the British Grand Prix since 2004 and has truly seen ‘behind the scenes’ of the sport. Rob has marshalled at events in Europe, North America and the UAE. Rob has even recently had a role as advisor and extra in the soon-to-be-launched F1 film starring Brad Pitt!

Whilst still marshalling, Rob has worked at Silverstone Museum since before its opening in 2019. He looks after and sources the collection of cars and bikes, working with motorsport teams across the UK, Europe, USA and Asia. He has written content for the prestigious F1 Exhibition and motorsport exhibitions in the UK and Qatar. Rob also hosts the Silverstone Museum YouTube channel, motorsport launches and awards ceremonies and hosts ‘evening with’ sessions. Rob also contributes to other motorsport podcasts and in the last 3 years has started commentating at classic motorsport events.
