World Record Pirate Gathering

Exactly a year ago I brought you the news that the world record for a gathering of Zombies had been broken! This year I can report that the world record for a gathering of Pirates has been smashed at Hastings! The previous record, set in July in Germany was 1,800, but in Hastings there were 6,166 pirates as verified by the Guinness Book of Records team! It's good to know that in the field of silliness, the British still reign supreme!!!

Your Sunday questions are:-
  1. Which British racing driver and former F1 World Champion and Indy Car Champion was born today in 1953?
