Dick Scammell
Dick Scammell joined Team Lotus in 1960 as a junior mechanic. In the 1962 and 1963 seasons he was Jim Clark's personal mechanic, rising to be senior Formula 1 mechanic and a regular on the Indy team.
In 1972 he joined Cosworth, where he rose up through the ranks to the
position of Director of Racing.
In 1995 Dick was awarded the MBE for services to motor racing. A year later he retired but he was tempted back in 1998 after Ford acquired Cosworth Racing from Audi AG, overseeing the integration of the company into the Ford organisation. In 1999, his job complete, he once again retired, a status he has worked hard to maintain ever since!
