So very sorry to hear this. A fantastic man who loved the sidecars. Some very happy memories of times spent with Antoine, and the family, in the bar(s) at Gedinne and camping in his back garden. Sincere condolences to Annie and all the Schmit family.

R.I.P Antoine Schmit,

The Circuit Gedinne always made the British crews more than welcome and reminded me of how circuit racing in the UK used to be.

Sad to hear about "monsieur Schmit" as we used to call him. I remember him signing on sidecarteams at other events for the race on "his" circuit.
Many good memories. R.I.P. monsieur Schmit.
