Richard Attwood
born 4 Apr 1940 · raced 1964–1969
Richard Attwood was a versatile British racer who competed in Formula 1 primarily for BRM and Lotus. Despite not achieving a Grand Prix victory, his career was marked by consistent efforts and a notable second-place finish at the 1968 Monaco Grand Prix. Attwood's broader motorsport success, particularly his 1970 Le Mans 24 Hours win with Porsche, often overshadows his 16-race Formula 1 tenure, yet he remains a respected figure from a challenging era of the sport.
