Formula 1.com is sad to record the death, in France on October 4th, of Peter Warr, well known for his management of the Lotus, Wolf and Fittipaldi Formula One teams in the Seventies and Eighties.A former Royal Guards officer, Warr tried his hand at motor racing. He went to work for the emergent Lotus company in Hornsey in 1958, when he had just turned 20, and raced in sportscars and Formula Junior. He was good enough to win the 1963 Japanese Grand Prix at Mount Fuji in a Lotus 23 sportscar, but his greatest contribution to the sport came when he was invited by Team Lotus founder Colin Chapman to take over management of the Formula One team in October 1969.
