		Walkinshaw is also believed to be contesting this, stating that the debt has been satisfied and is no longer owed.
		Walkinshaw told the Guardian, however, that the debt Try owed to Broadstone Estate has been cleared, thereby breaking the chain that would have led the administrators of TWR to Gloucester's door.
		Tom Walkinshaw was born in 1946 into a farming family near Prestonpans.

		After his Ford contract ended Walkinshaw established Tom Walkinshaw Racing in 1976 and that year scored his first major victory with John Fitzpatrick in a BMW CSL at Silverstone.
		Walkinshaw was elected chairman of the British Racing Drivers Club but was later ousted over a plan to establish the Silverstone Motor Group, the club paying $8m for 50% of Walkinshaw's garage businesses.
		While all this was taking place Walkinshaw had become Engineering Director of the Benetton F1 team and TWR had begun producing roadgoing Jaguar XJ220s for sale to the public and there was a further deal with Aston Martin.

		In Australia, angry at the Ligier break-up, Walkinshaw said that he was not interested in being involved in a Grand Prix team unless it had the potential to do well and he had complete control of the organisation.
		Brawn was one of the men that Walkinshaw implanted at Benetton in 1992 and it is likely that Brawn will be pulled out of the team at the end of this year to return to the TWR fold.
		Walkinshaw will almost certainly be trying to get a deal with Honda and so for 1997 it is logical that he will try to sign a customer deal with Mugen Honda in order to use the season to perfect a chassis for a V10 engine.

	F1 Rejects - Risky Business: The TWR Arrows Years 1996-2002
		Walkinshaw took over Arrows in 1996, at the time when Ricardo Rosset was underwhelming at the helm of one car.
		All of this meant that, potentially, Walkinshaw's takeover was a godsend, with the Scot's technical nous and business sense and the might of the TWR empire promising to take Arrows from perennial midfielders into the big league, which made the team's demise even harder to swallow.
		Walkinshaw reduced his shareholding to 25%, with Malik holding another 25%, MGPE 45%, and the remaining 5% being for team employees.

	rpm.espn.com: Prost team secretly purchased
		Walkinshaw told Reuters on Friday the bankrupt French team's assets had been bought for an undisclosed sum and that his TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) group would be providing engineering expertise to the new owners.
		The news provoked an angry reaction from Minardi boss Paul Stoddart, who claimed Walkinshaw was behind the purchase and threatened legal action to prevent the new owners from competing in the championship this season.
		But Walkinshaw dismissed this, saying: "If anyone new wants to come in, they are going to have to go and buy a position or acquire a team that's already in it.

	Racing Rovers
		Walkinshaw's Jaguar was again the quickest car in the place but with several of the BMWs, not to mention the Rovers, in hot pursuit.
		Walkinshaw, as expected, immediately moved his Jaguar to the fore, but the opportunist Stuck split Tom from his teammate Enzo Calderari midway round the very first lap and shadowed Walkinshaw closely before moving ahead on lap 3.
		Tom Walkinshaw Racing's other charges, however, the Rover team, continued to struggle, Jean-Pierre Jabouille, who took over from Pond's marvellous stint, could not maintain the same sort of pace, the former Renault Grand Prix driver having completed relatively few miles in qualifying.

		But Arrows boss, Tom Walkinshaw, reportedly has a copy letter from Prost’s liquidator Cosme Rogeau to FIA president Max Mosley, confirming that the commercial rights and F1 entry were part of the R24-million deal concluded by him with Phoenix.
		Walkinshaw has claimed that his involvement in the deal is a contract to provide engineering expertise to the new team, which intended to present itself for scrutineering in Malaysia.
		However, few F1 observers believe that Walkinshaw - a successful businessman, team manager and owner of Tom Walkinshaw Racing - would have recommended that R24 million be spent on what, without the commercial rights, amounted to a few relatively worthless racing cars and unusable equipment, Autosport.com reported on Friday.
