Roy Lane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roy Lane is a British racing driver. He is best known for his great success in hillclimbing, having won the British Hillclimb Championship on four occasions (1975-76-92-96) in a career spanning more than three decades. Lane has won 90 individual rounds of the championship (as of the end of 2006), a record. In the 1990s, his partnership with the Pilbeam constructor was one of the most successful in the sport.
The back problems which have troubled Lane for many years have kept his appearances to a minimum in recent seasons, although he has still competed on occasion, and has continued to be competitive in sprinting. He made a full return to hillclimbing in 2006, at the wheel of a Porsche 911.
Lane is one of the instructors at the Prescott Hillclimb Drivers School.
