Interview

The stalwart tin-top boss still shaping careers more than 40 years on

Veteran team manager Marvin Humphries and former Tech-Speed team boss has worked not only with stars of the British Touring Car Championship, but legends including Gil de Ferran, Hans Stuck and Tom Sneva in a long and varied career that has spanned five decades across tin-tops, single-seaters and sportscars

He’s renowned as one of the most amiable, down-to-earth members of the British Touring Car Championship paddock, of which he’s been more or less ever-present over the past 20 years. And his lifespan in Britain’s premier tin-top series goes further back to the tune of two and a half decades to the mid-1970s.

Yet pinning down top team manager, former team principal and all-round good guy Marvin Humphries to chat about his career in motorsport isn’t easy. Why? Because he’s so modest and humble about it that he doesn’t see why anyone should make a fuss. The last thing he wants to do is blow his own trumpet.
