Shocked to see this on the news yesterday BBC article

Richard Lloyd was one of the golf GTI pioneers in the UK, racing an early mk1 in the late 70's and early 80's and then moving on through that to co-found GTI Engineering at Silverstone circuit.

My dad worked for him for years and I can clearly remember going to race meets to watch their Group C (le-mans) Porsches and their Slick 50 championship mk2 16v.

The first time I ever sat in a Corrado was their demonstrator in 1989 and having a ride home in it from GTI International.
