Rt. Hon. Earl Howe |
He won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1931 with Sir Henry Birkin and raced extensively through the thirties but the outbreak of the Second World War effectively ended his career. After the war he played a pivotal role in the development of motor sport in Britain, both as President of the BRDC and Patron of the 500 Club. Earl Howe died in July 1964. His daughter, Lady Sarah Curzon, married Formula 1 driver Piers Courage. |
