It is with great sadness that we have to confirm the news that Damien Lewis (Damo) has been taken from us in a tragic road traffic accident. No other members of the Rebellion Racing team were involved in the accident. Damo was still in Germany with our guys that were staying behind after the Nurburgring race to prepare the cars and freight for the fly-away races. Damo’s next of kin have been informed and we will be with them in the coming days to provide help or assistance as needed.
We are shocked by this tragic news, Damo was a huge part of our Team and his loss will be deeply felt by his many friends and his family. A very humble character, Damo had a quiet demeanour and a kind heart. He has been No1 mechanic on Rebellion Racing cars since the beginning and he will be greatly missed not only for his contribution to our team, but for his warmth and personality, the world will be an emptier place without him.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with Damo’s partner Marcie and their boys, his mother Lin, his father John and of course his brothers Nick and Joe who also works with Sebah / Rebellion Racing.
