Guy Richard Goronwy Edwards, QGM (born 30 December 1942) is a former racing driver from England.
Best known for his sportscar and British Formula One career, as well as for brokering sponsorship deals, Edwards participated in 17 World Championship Formula One Grands Prix, debuting on 13 January 1974. He scored no championship points.

Edwards competed in the Aurora Formula One Championship in the UK from 1978 to 1980, scoring several wins driving March, Fittipaldi and Arrows chassis. In 1979, he scored the only race win for a Fittipaldi Formula One chassis.

He is also renowned for being one of the drivers, along with Arturo Merzario, Brett Lunger and Harald Ertl who saved Niki Lauda from his burning car during the 1976 German Grand Prix, for which he was later awarded a Queen’s Gallantry Medal for his bravery. Currently, he works helping racing drivers to get sponsorship. Info from Wiki 


Info by Peter Hooper
Guy Edwards was in and around F1 from 1974/77, but never got into anything like a top class car.
He achieved more success in the British Shellsport Gp8 and Aurora F1 championships. From 1976 to the final year in 1980, he raced a whole host of redundant F1 machinery. Ensign N174, Brabham BT42, March 75A/761, March 781, Fittipaldi F5A and Arrows A1 were all raced, with loyal backing from Ultramar. He was a winner in everything but the Ensign, which he only drove once in 1976, but never managed to put together a championship run.
