#AlastairWalker

Alastair Walker was a British racing driver and team owner, active primarily during the 1960s and early 1970s. Born on March 21, 1944, in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, he competed in various motorsport disciplines including Formula 2, Formula 3, and endurance racing. In Formula 2, Walker participated in multiple events between 1968 and 1971, driving for his own outfit, Alastair Walker Racing. He ran cars such as the Lola T100 and Brabham BT30, earning respectable results, including a fifth-place finish at Thruxton in 1970. In sports car racing, Walker notably co-drove a Ferrari 512 S for Écurie Francorchamps at the 1970 24 Hours of Le Mans, finishing fifth overall with Belgian driver Hughes de Fierlandt. After retiring from competitive racing, he remained active in the classic car world, restoring and preserving historically significant vehicles. Among his collection was a World War II RAF Air Sea Rescue boat, which he proudly displayed during Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee Pageant on the River Thames in 2012. Alastair Walker passed away on January 25, 2021, in Dale, Pembrokeshire, remembered as a passionate racer and devoted custodian of motoring history.
