David Price, a long-time team owner, manager, and engineer who collaborated with Derek Bell, Martin Brundle, and Nigel Mansell among others, has passed away at the age of 75.
The Briton, always known affectionately as 'Pricey' in the paddock, ran Mansell and Brundle in the British Formula 3 Championship in 1977 and 1982 respectively, a series his David Price Racing squad would win in 1984 with Johnny Dumfries.
He played a key role as TM, a race engineer and component supplier through his DPS Composites business in turning what had become Team Sauber Mercedes into a Le Mans-winning operation in 1989, one that also dominated that year's World Sports-Prototype Championship with the C9 Group C car. "Every car I ever drove for Dave was top notch," Wallace told Motorsport.com."He understood that he needed the best people possible to prepare and run his cars and always made sure that was the case.Price began his motorsport career as an apprentice with the John Willment touring car team in the late 1960s.
Price and his team also had a flirtation with touring cars: it ran the first works Rover SD1s in 1980 in what was then known as the British Saloon Car Championship. DPR was reformed for 1995 and a sportscar campaign with a pair of McLarens, one run in the colours of Harrods, the other the West tobacco brand.
