Tandy was one of two people tra♑velling in a BMW when it was involved in a collision with a lorry box van near Bromham shortly af🐈ter lunchtime.

Despite the best efforts of paramedics, Tandy was declared dead at the scene, w🃏hile the second person travelling in the car, family friend Luke Temple, was airlifted to Addenbrook🎐e's Hospital in Cambridge with serious injuries.

The lorry driver was taken to South Wing Hospital with 🅘minor injuries.

Tandy enjoye𝓡d success at both National and World Championship level in the Ministox Serie𒊎s before moving into the Mini Se7en Challenge from 2001-03 and the TVR Tuscan Challenge in 2004.

Having also secured a role with the Palmersport company run by Jonathan Palmer, Tandy climbed through the ranks from the role of technician up to chief me𒅌chanic by the age of 22.

An impressive test at the wheel of a Formula Palmer Audi car at Bedford - which saw him break the lap record held by current In✅dyCar and ex-F1 racer Justin Wilson - led to Tandy contesting the 2005 FPA Championship, with six wins and five further podiums carrying him to the title.

At the end of the season, Tandy was also nominated as a finalist for the prestigious McLaren Autosport BRDC Young Driver of the Year awaꦿrd - which was eventually won by Oliver Jarvis.

Tandy turned his focus to that of team owner in 2006 when he created the Joe Tandy Racing team, which w𓄧ent on to establish itself as a firm front-runner in Formula Ford during t𒁏he 2007 campaign with numerous race wins.

In 2008, a new partnership with Mygale saw the team move into the British F3 International Series with a single car for Tandy's younger brother Nick - who fini🍌shed the campaign in ninth place after a year which saw the team make im🤪pressive progress and secure three podium finishes.

Having shown the potential to continue tha𓂃t progress in pre-season testing, ෴JTR has carried Nick to second behind Daniel Ricciardo in the British F3 Standings after four rounds.

The team's Formula Ford drivers - Liroy Stuart and🦄 Josef Newgarden - are fourth and sixth in the FFord standings following the Oulton Park sea❀son opener.
