John Henry Riseley-Prichard (born January 17, 1924 Hereford , † July 8, 1993 in Baan Kai Thuan ) was a British racing car driver .
Career
Riseley-Prichard drove his first car races in 1953 and 1954 with a Riley in national races in Great Britain. In 1954 he borrowed a Connaught Type A from Rob Walker , with which he won the first edition of the Cornwall MRC Formula One Race ; it was a Formula 1 race without world championship status . In the same year he also took part in the British Grand Prix , which was a world championship run, with the car . Riseley-Prichard dropped out after a spin.
Riseley-Prichard races for fun. In 1955 he took part in several Formula Libre races and once let the young Tony Brooks behind the wheel. The later world class driver quickly showed him where the limits in racing really lay.
In 1955, he and Brooks drove an Aston Martin at the Le Mans 24 Hours . After the fatal accident of Pierre Levegh he came under pressure from his family who asked him to stop his racing activities. He resigned and focused on his job as an insurance broker.
Later in his life he became the focus of a child pornography scandal in the UK and immigrated to Thailand . He died there in 1993 after a long illness.
