Ivor Bueb
Ivor Léon John Bueb (born 6 June 1923 in East Ham, died 1 August 1959 in Clermont-Ferrand, France) was a British racing driver. A successful Formula 3 and sportscar driver, he finished second in the 1955 British F3 championship and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans that same year with Mike Hawthorn, as well as in 1957 with Ron Flockhart. He made some abortive attempts at racing in Formula One throughout this time, including in 1952, before he began serious racing. As he developed his skills, he focused on sportscars and left F1 behind him. He was killed in a Formula Two accident at the Charade Circuit near Clermont-Ferrard when he was thrown out of his car at Gravenoire. Bueb died in hospital six days later, aged 36.
