abstract
  • Roy Francesco Salvadori (born 12 May 1922 in Dovercourt, Essex, England, United Kingdom – died 3 June 2012 in Monte Carlo, Monaco) was a British racing driver, born in Dovercourt, Essex in the UK to Italian parents. Salvadori drove for numerous works teams, including the disappointing Aston Martin team, in a career that spanned from 1952 until 1962, totalling 47 Grand Prix starts. Although Salvadori never managed to win a Championship Grand Prix (taking two podiums in total), the Brit was well known in the racing world, having won numerous non-Championship races, and competed in other series. But, Salvadori's greatest achievement would come in Endurance Racing, when he and team mate Carroll Shelby won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1959, a victory that prompted Aston Martin into Formula One. After a nasty crash during the 1963 edition of Le Mans, Salvadori officially retired from racing, having already called time on his Formula One career. Salvadori also became briefly involved in the Ford GT40 Programme for Le Mans, before taking over as a manager at the Cooper Racing Team in 1965, staying until 1967.
