Guy Edwards

Guy Richard Goronwy Edwards, QGM (30 December 1942 – 19 June 2026) was a British racing driver. Best known for his sportscar and British Formula One career, as well as for brokering sponsorship deals, Edwards participated in 17 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 13 January 1974. He scored no championship points.

Early life Edwards attended Liverpool College and studied at Durham University (University College), graduating in 1964.

With aspirations of racing cars, Edwards went straight from university to Brands Hatch Racing School and persuaded the owner to allow him to perform secretarial work in exchange for ten free laps a week in circuit cars. After saving up money he was able to purchase a Mini Cooper-S, with which he gained his first competitive experience. Edwards upgraded to a Chevron B8 once he gained sponsorship and soon entered Formula 5000. After retiring from Formula One, he worked helping racing drivers to get sponsorship.

Personal life and death Edwards' son Sean, also a racing driver, was killed in a motor racing accident at Queensland Raceway in Australia on 15 October 2013. He was sitting as a passenger in a Porsche 911 GT3 to coach a younger driver when they had a high-speed crash and subsequently caught fire.

In October 2018, media erroneously reported Edwards dead.

Edwards died in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland on 19 June 2026, aged 83.
