Richard Attwood started his racing career in 1960 driving a Triumph TR3, but by 1963 had won the Monaco Formula Junior race and was a fast rising star. Success in Formula Two saw Attwood quickly move up to Formula One, with BRM in 1964, but the following years in F1 would ultimately not live up to the promise. However, during the late ’60s, Attwood showed great success in sports cars, with the likes of Ford and Porsche, culminating in his now-famous 1970 Le Mans win. Mike Jiggle recently sat down with Attwood to talk about his Formula One and sports car careers and the highs and lows that came with them.
