Biography
Arthur Owen was a British racing driver, born in London in 1915. His only round of the Formula One World Championship was the 1960 Italian Grand Prix, where he drove a privately entered 2.2-litre Cooper. He crashed on the opening lap after his brakes failed and scored no points.
Outside the World Championship, Owen set records and took part in other races. In 1955 he shared a Cooper sports car with Jim Russell and William Knight at Montlhéry and set thirteen international Class G records. In 1959 he set the fastest time of the day at the Brighton Speed Trials, and in 1962 he won the British Hill Climb Championship. At the 1962 Macau Grand Prix he qualified on pole position but crashed early in the race. In 1963 he finished third in the first Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. He also wrote a book about the Cooper racing cars, published in 1959. Owen died in 2002.
