Former Owner/Driver David Robertson Passes Away at 66
American Le Mans Series competitor, 24H Le Mans podium finisher passes
away…
Former American Le Mans Series team owner/driver David Robertson has
passed away at the age of 66.
Robertson, and wife Andrea, competed in the ALMS from 2007-11, primarily
with the team’s self-built Ford GT that also ran internationally in the
2009 Asian Le Mans Series and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2011.
His career highlight came with a GTE-Am podium finish in the French
endurance classic, alongside Andrea and long-time co-driver David Murry
in their Robertson Racing entry.
As chronicled by Sportscar365, Robertson’s privately funded effort, run
by Andrew “H” Smith, had been the last Ford entrant to finish on the
podium at Le Mans prior to the arrival of the factory Ford GT program in
2016.
Robertson, a commercial pilot, retired from professional racing at the
end of 2011 although remained active in historic racing with his and
Andrea’s Ford GTs.
