Robert McGregor Innes Ireland (12 June 1930 – 22 October 1993) was a British racing driver and journalist, who competed in Formula One from {{F1|1959}} to {{F1|1966}}. Ireland won the 1961 United States Grand Prix with Lotus.

Born in Mytholmroyd and raised in Scotland, Ireland initially served in the British Army, reaching the rank of lieutenant in 1955. Ireland competed in Formula One for Lotus, BRP, Reg Parnell Racing and Bernard White Racing, winning the {{F1GP|1961|United States}} in {{F1|1961}} with the former, as well as finishing fourth in the 1960 World Drivers' Championship and taking victories at eight non-championship races. He entered eight editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans from {{24hLM|1958}} to {{24hLM|1966}}, and was a race-winner in the British Saloon Car Championship.

Upon retiring from motor racing, Ireland started a career as a journalist in the late-1980s for ESPN, later working with automobile magazines Road & Track and Autocar. He was the president of the British Racing Drivers' Club from 1992 until his death the following year.

Early life

Ireland was born 12 June 1930 in Mytholmroyd, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, the son of a Scottish veterinary surgeon. His family returned to Kirkcudbright, Scotland during his youth, and he trained as an engineer with Rolls-Royce, first in Glasgow and later in London. Commissioned as a second lieutenant in the King's Own Scottish Borderers,{{London Gazette|issue=40087|supp=y|page=696|date=2 February 1954}} he served with the Parachute Regiment in the Suez Canal Zone during 1953 and 1954.{{cite web|title=Innes Ireland|url=https://www.historicracing.com/driverDetail.cfm?driverID=1873|website=Historic Racing|date=22 October 2006}} In 1955 he transferred to the Territorial Army and was promoted to lieutenant,{{London Gazette|nolink=y|issue=40688|supp=y|page=412|date=20 January 1956}} Correcting {{London Gazette|nolink=y|issue=40565|supp=y|page=4799|date=23 August 1955}} and in 1958 he was placed on the Reserve of Officers.{{London Gazette|nolink=y|issue=41477|supp=y|page=5207|date=22 August 1958}}

Racing career

Ireland began racing a Riley 9 in 1954. His first year of nationally competitive events was 1957,{{cite web|url=http://www.racingsportscars.com/driver/results/Innes-Ireland-GB.html|title=All Results of Innes Ireland|website=www.racingsportscars.com|access-date=6 May 2017}} by which time he was running a small engineering firm in Surrey. Success in sports car racing saw him make his Formula One debut for Team Lotus in 1959. In 1960 he won three non-championship Formula One races and finished fourth in the World Drivers Championship. Badly injured in the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix, Ireland recovered to win the Solitude Grand Prix and Flugplatzrennen races, then finished the season with a victory in the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. He was sacked at the end of the season as team boss Colin Chapman considered Jim Clark a better bet.{{cite book |title=Theme Lotus |author=Doug Nye |publisher=Motor Racing Publications |year=1978 |page=49}}

Ireland entered a Ferrari in the 24 Hours of Daytona, with motorcycle racer Mike Hailwood as his intended co-driver, but broke down with gearbox problems after {{fraction|3|1|2}} hours, before Hailwood was scheduled to participate."Hailwood home". Motorcycle News, 16 February 1966, p.1. Accessed 20 April 2024

Ireland was encouraged by Bill France Sr., founder of NASCAR, to participate in the 1967 Daytona 500, one of the last races of his career, where the V8 engine of his year-old Dodge exploded opposite the stands.

Ireland worked as a journalist for ESPN for several F1 races in the late 1980s, as well as the American Road & Track magazine and Autocar magazine. He also operated fishing trawlers in the North Atlantic. Towards the end of his life, he was elected president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, a post he still held at the time of his death from cancer on 22 October 1993,{{Cite web |last=Gauld |first=Graham |date=October 1, 2018 |title=Remembering Innes |url=https://www.f1grandprixdriversclub.com/remembering-innes/ |access-date=January 2, 2025 |website=Grand Prix Driver's Club}} in Reading, Berkshire.

Writing

As a writer, Ireland produced an autobiography, All Arms and Elbows (1967; {{ISBN|0-85184-050-7}}). Another book, Marathon in the Dust (1970), is Ireland's account of the gruelling 1968 Daily Express London-Sydney Marathon, which he completed with two friends, fellow Formula One competitor Michael Taylor and British bobsledder Andy Hedges, in a Mercedes Benz 280 SE.

Personal life

{{refimprove|date=December 2024}}

On 30 October 1954 Ireland married Scarborough schoolteacher Norma Thomas. They had two daughters before divorcing in 1967. He then married Edna Humphries also in 1967. Ireland married his third wife Jean Mander (née Howarth), a former fashion model, on 11 June 1993 at Newbury register office. Jean had been engaged to Mike Hawthorn at the time of Hawthorn's death in 1959. Ireland also had a son who died in 1992.

Ireland was described as a larger-than-life character who, according to a rival team boss, "lived without sense, without an analyst, and provoked astonishment and affection from everyone."{{cite book|author=Robert Newman|title=Motor Racing Heroes: The Stories of 100 Greats|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BQD3AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA202|date= 2014|publisher=Veloce Publishing Ltd|isbn=978-1-84584-748-7|pages=202–}}
