Formula 1 Career

In his first race he impressed whilst battling with Chris Amon on his debut in France before both cars retired. Despite failing to qualify for the 1967 German Grand Prix, Rob Walker offered him a car for the 1968 F1 Grand Prix. Von Gottorp returned to the grid for the Italian Grand Prix and managed to score a point, profiting from many retirements, an erratic performance by Chris Amon and a late-race spin by Jacky Ickx. In 1968, Von Gottorp earnt a reputation as a top driver with him being able to battle and beat Jim Clark in South Africa before scoring a pole position in Monaco. Sadly technical issues made it impossible for him to challenge for the world championship. The downfall of Rob Walker's team ruined his chance though with three DNQs and only four points in the next two years. Von Gottorp then disappeared of the face of the Earth for a year before attempting an unsuccessful F1 comeback with a BRM in 1972. He realised afterwards that his career in F1 was over.
