Tynemouth-born Peter Morgan, who died earlier this month aged 68, was a champion driver whose engineering contribution to the sport – from early work at Madgwick to Reynard – succeeds him.Fastidious preparation underpinned a relatively short racing career over which he achieved much success, despite never attracting the financial support his ability merited.
Improving results in the Royale presaged a switch to a works-assisted Lola T540 for 1978. His first win, in round four of the BRDC championship at Brands Hatch in the factory development car underlined their potential. Lack of funds precluded F3 for 1980, thus Morgan spent a month preparing Ian Flux’s Ehrlich for Monaco. Nonetheless, with competitive spirit still burning, Peter blew his savings on the British GP support contest in Eddie Jordan’s discarded March 803 at Brands. “After 30 minutes’ testing, he finished 10th, just ahead of me, in his last race – that’s special,” said Flux.
