Marshall's style has been described as "sideways, on-the-edge cornering that was to distinguish his driving in any car, large or small, front or rear drive.” This outward appearance belied an extraordinary cool-headed ability and intelligence behind the wheel.
Gerry, as usual, thought otherwise and raised a lot of eyebrows when he lapped a lightweight Jaguar E-type quicker than its regular drivers during a test at Silverstone: however, a drive was not forthcoming.
With this car Gerry enhanced his blossoming reputation and photographers rushed out of their usual hiding spots whenever he was on track and got dramatic pictures of Gerry driving the TVR in his now customary sideways fashion.

 Gerry Marshall | Obituaries | News | Telegraph
Gerry Marshall, who has died aged 63, was the most successful British saloon car racing driver, whose exuberant driving style made him a crowd favourite and netted him 623 victories in a 40-year career.
Marshall, whose figure did not suggest he was a man who turned down pudding, believed in partying as hard as he raced.
Marshall achieved several other distinctions during his heyday: he beat the future world champion Jody Scheckter to the 1971 Ford Escort Mexico title, and finished second to rally legend Roger Clark in the 1974 Tour of Britain, again in an Escort.

  Gerry Marshall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Over the years Gerry raced many and numerous cars, ranging from 1950s F1 cars (Aston DBR4, V16 BRM) to Le Man cars (Ferrari 250 GTOs, AC Cobras, Lola T70, Porsche 962), to the extraordinary (Alvis Grey Lady, TVR Tuscan, Morris Marina, Ford P100).
However, he is probably best remembered for his flamboyant and crowd-pleasing style during the 1970s driving for Dealer Team Vauxhall in the racing Firenzas "Old Nail" and "Baby Bertha", and also the ill-fated V8 Holden-Repco Ventora, "Big Bertha".
Marshall's style has been described as "sideways, on-the-edge cornering style that was to distinguish his driving in any car, large or small, front or rear drive.” This outward appearance belied an extraordinary cool-headed ability and intelligence behind the wheel.

 Missing Gerry Marshall 2 | Road Tests, Auto Features
Marshall's technique was quite different, as I saw at incredibly close range during a test session at Silverstone.
By the time Marshall got his foot back on the throttle I was close enough to read his revcounter - close enough, too, to see that he didn't so much drive the car through the corner as pick it up and throw it at the apex, with himself still inside.
Marshall did his part by driving it - as usual = about thirty percent faster than it wanted to go.
