Michael "Mike" Spence (30 December 1936, Croydon
, Surrey
– 7 May 1968, Indianapolis, Indiana
, USA) was a British
racing driver from England
. He participated in 37 Formula One
World Championship Grands Prix, debuting on September 8, 1963. He achieved 1 podium, and scored a total of 27 championship points. He also participated in numerous non-Championship Formula One races, as well as sports car racing
.
, Berkshire
. After early outings in 1958, driving his father's Turner
and an AC Ace
sports car, Spence moved into open wheel racing in Formula Junior
in 1959. Immediate success at the wheel of his Emeryson
earned Spence the opportunity to drive the car in the non-Championship 1961 Solitude Grand Prix
less than two years later, although his gearbox failed after only six laps. However, later that year he finished an astonishing second in the Lewis-Evans Trophy race at Brands Hatch
. These results prompted moves to the privateer Ian Walker Racing FJ team for 1962, driving a Lotus 22
, and then to the works Lotus
Formula Junior squad in 1963.
Despite disappointing results in his first Formula Junior season with a major team, with fourth place in the British Grand Prix
FJ support race his best result, toward the end of Spence was called up to the Lotus Formula One team. Spence entered the 1963 Italian Grand Prix
as replacement for Trevor Taylor
, who was out through injury. Although he qualified his Lotus 25
in 9th spot, in the race the car's oil pressure faded, ending Spence's race on lap 73.
and Peter Arundell
as lead drivers for , Spence spent most of the early season driving in Formula Two
events. However, Arundell suffered a severe accident in an F2 race, and from the 1964 British Grand Prix
onwards Spence moved up to partner Clark in the Formula One team. The rest of the season passed uneventfully, and despite Spence running second through much of the Italian Grand Prix
, his best finish was fourth place at the season finale in Mexico
.
started promisingly, with Spence winning the prestigious Race of Champions
at Brands Hatch, and taking third in the International Trophy
at Silverstone
. However, once the World Championship got underway the year continued where 1964 had left off, and Spence had only claimed two points finishes by the time the Formula One circus arrived once again at the season closing race in Mexico. Here his luck was to change, and he managed to secure his first and only podium finish, taking 3rd place behind American duo Richie Ginther
and Dan Gurney
. Unfortunately for Spence, this performance was not enough to save his seat at Lotus, and at the end of the season he found himself out of a drive.
Moving back into the privateer world, Mike Spence was signed by BRM for the 1966 Formula One season
, but was seconded to the Reg Parnell Racing
team rather than drive for the works squad. Driving the Parnell team's, by now elderly, Lotus 25, once again Spence was only able to scrape together two points finishes from World Championship rounds. Although, following the pattern laid out in previous seasons, Spence performed rather better in non-Championship events, winning the South African Grand Prix
.
In Mike Spence was promoted back into a works car, partnering Jackie Stewart
in the full BRM team. Though he managed to score points in no fewer than five World Championship races during the season, none of these was with anything higher than fifth place. Mike Spence was due to remain with BRM for the season, although retirement at the season's first round in South Africa did not bode well, his race performances here and during the Race of Champions and International Trophy events belied a great potential for the season.
In 1967, Jim Hall hired Spence as part of his Chapparal sports car team. One of the most innovative engineers in 1960s motorsport, Hall pioneered many advances in racing technology. For 1967 the great advance was the addition of aerodynamic
wings to the rear of his cars, generating extra downforce
to improve grip levels and hence cornering speeds. Driving the Chaparral 2F with regular partner Phil Hill
Spence managed to make a great impression on the sports car scene. Fastest laps in the Sebring 6h and 1000km Spa
races were just the prelude to a dominant win in the 1967 BOAC 500
race at Brands Hatch. Spence and Hill finished half a lap ahead of the Jackie Stewart/Chris Amon
Ferrari 330P, who were themselves three laps ahead of anybody else.
For 1968 Spence moved to the Ford
-backed Alan Mann Racing
team. He became one of the few people ever to drive the ill-fated Ford P68 in competition, although an engine mount failure on his own entry, followed by a driveshaft failure on the team's second car during the race, prevented Spence from reaching the chequered flag.
invited Spence back to Lotus as part of their Indianapolis 500
race team. Spence was due to race the revolutionary Lotus 56
gas turbine
car. However, during practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
three weeks before the race, Spence misjudged his entry to turn one and collided heavily with the concrete wall. The right-front wheel of the Lotus swivelled backwards into the cockpit and struck Spence on the helmet. Mike Spence died in the hospital, from massive head injuries, a few hours after the accident.
