Kenneth McAlpine 1920-2023
Kenneth McAlpine, of the McAlpine building and civil engineering family, was a driver and financial backer of the Connaught racing team
Kenneth McAlpine, the oldest surviving grand prix driver, who first competed in Formula 1 in 1952, has died at the age of 102.
As well as making seven world championship grand prix starts between 1952-55, McAlpine was a familiar entry into non-championship races and was the man who largely funded the Connaught grand prix team, thanks to his extensive family interests in civil engineering.
