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 lifeEdit

Edwards attended Liverpool College and studied at Durham University (University College), graduating in 1964.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

With aspirations of racing cars he went straight from university to Brands Hatch Racing School and persuaded the owner to allow him to perform secretarial work in exchange for 10 free laps a week in circuit cars.<ref name="memories">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> 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.<ref name=memories />

CareerEdit

Edwards competed in the Aurora Formula One Championship in the UK from 1978 to 1980, scoring several wins driving March, Fittipaldi and Arrows chassis. In 1979, he scored the only race win for a Fittipaldi Formula One chassis.

He is also renowned for being one of the drivers, along with Arturo Merzario, Brett Lunger and Harald Ertl, who saved Niki Lauda from his burning car during the 1976 German Grand Prix, for which he was later awarded a Queen's Gallantry Medal for his bravery.<ref>Daily Mirror page 7 MEDAL FOR RACE-TRACK HERO Friday 24 June 1977 "RACING DRIVER Guy Edwards is awarded a top gallantry medal today for saving the life of world champion Niki Lauda Guy 33 was driving forty yards behind when Lauda's car crashed in the German Grand Prix."</ref> Currently, he works helping racing drivers to get sponsorship.

His 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.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In October 2018, media erroneously reported him dead.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
