Ian Grob Biography

Ian Grob is one of the most popular and richest Racing Driver who was born on August 24, 1952 in Barnet, ****. Ian Grob was born 24 August 1952 in Barnet (Hertfordshire). He is an ex-English racing driver. His father Ken Grob of Token Racing fame drove his cars and gave Ian the opportunity to race. He raced in many events, including European Formula 2 races and Le Mans 24 Hours. After his final race at Daytona’s 1980 24 Hours of Daytona, he retired from international motorsport.

Grob decided to retire from Formula Three in 1977. He hoped that it would help his results. He raced in the British Formula Three Championships and for Alan Docking Racing. He achieved decent results in a Chevron–Toyota B38. Trophy race at Mallory Park.

Both Grob and Edwards returned to Le Mans in 1979. This time, they were entered by March Racing, in a BMW March M1, with the BMW supported driver, Dieter Quester. Despite this strong line-up, the trio failed to qualify for the race. A few weeks later, Manfred Winkelhock had replaced Quester for the Brands Hatch 6 Hours. After a strong qualifying, the car was fourth on the grid, but failed to finish the race.

In 1980, he went Stateside to the IMSA championship and drove March’s BMW M1 in the 24 Hour Pepsi Challenge, at the Daytona. Although classified in 43rd place, the car failed to finish race due to drive shaft problems. This was to be Grob’s last international appearance.

He switched to single-seat racing for the next season. Modus Cars invited him to race the Modus-Hart M7 at the 1976 European Formula Two Championship. Grob qualified in only four rounds of the twelve. Grob’s best finish was in the 15th place at Thruxton, Estoril. However, his best result was in a non- championship F2 racing, where he placed 5th at the Internationales ADAC–Eifelrennen on Nurburgring Nordschleife. Grob joined Fred Opert Racing to race his F2 Chevron-Hart B35 in a few Shellsport International Series races at Brands Hatch. He finished 7th and 14th.

He decided to travel to Europe in 1973 with his Chevron 233. He was fifth at Circuit de Croix-en-Ternois, where he competed in a round for the Championnat de France des Circuits. KVG Racing, Grob’s team, recruited John Hine to be his partner in the South African Springbok Trophy Series. Grob’s first podium finish was achieved through his partnership with KVG Racing, which saw him take third place at the Kyalami 9 Hours. This resulted in a class win.

1974 saw Grob return to Europe with KVG Racing’s Chevron B23. Hine was his partner in the Endurance races. He did not win the Avus non-championship, and he finished either in the lower reaches or at the bottom of the Top 10. The team did win a class victory in the Nurburgring 1000km, where they finished 8th. Grob was able to win the 1000km of Mugello (class win overall) with Hine the next season. This pairing finished third overall in the 800km race of Dijon a fortnight after the 1000km of Mugello. Grob won the Nogaro non- championship race on the same Chevron B31 model that he had won the previous day. This partnership lost their way after a second-place finish at Silverstone a week later. Grob was able to reach the podium after his second place at Britannica 2000 at Brands Hatch, in a round in the European 2-litre Sports Car Championship.

During the European winter, he travelled to New Zealand for the 1978 Peter Stuyvesant International Formula Pacific Series. After teaming up with Sphere Drake Racing, he drove their March-Ford 763/77B, managing just one top sixth finish, on the temporary circuit at Wigram. For rest of the 1978 season, Grob returned to England, joining Ibec Racing Developments Hesketh Team for an assault on the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Partnered by Guy Edwards, the team’s Ibec P6 suffered from mechanical troubles which dropped it to 42nd position after just a few hours. Despite recovering well from this early setback, in the 19th hour its Cosworth DFV engine failed completely and the Ibec’s race was over.
