Chris has racing steeped in his blood. Having raced against Ayrton Senna in Formula Ford (but not having beaten him, much to his father’s dismay), Chris became a successful crew chief, winning the Sebring 12hr race in 1986. He successfully led the Marcos factory-works LM600 assault on the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1995, some 30 years after his father, Jem Marsh, started the family obsession with the epic event. Less well known is the fact that his grandfather, Kenneth Marsh, was an obsessive racer. Grandpa Kenneth was in fact late attending Jem’s christening in 1930 whilst busily establishing a long held record for a hill climb in Devon in the MG-works MGB. Chris brings huge breadth and depth of experience to his racing-related work. Examples of race work to date include:

• 1965 Marcos LM1800: this is the car that Chris’ father built and raced at Le Mans in 1968. The Marsh Consortium bought the car from Sweden in 2019 and it was subsequently extensively re-built and run at Classic Le Mans 2022 and 2023.

• 1968 Marcos 1800: the car was racing extensively and required a complete rear-end re-build, as the wooden chassis was damaged, impacting performance significantly. Chris expertly repaired the chassis and completed the set-up, with the car returning to the track materially faster

• 1963 Mustang: engine being re-built, and will be back on track in the 2024 race season
