Who is Robb Gravett?

Robb Gravett is a British retired racing driver and team owner, a winner of the 1987 Willhire 24 Hour, and the 1990 British Touring Car Championship winner with his own Trakstar team, in a Ford Sierra prepared by Australian magnate Dick Johnson.

Gravett, who was born in London, co-founded Trakstar in 1989 with Mike Smith – Robb finished 2nd in his class that year, behind Andy Rouse's Sierra. In 1990 he won 9 races in the sole Trakstar entry. There were 4 different classes of cars racing for the same title in those days, each scoring points based on where they finished among their own class.

The championship changed to a single-class in 1991, and Trakstar ran factory Sierras that year, however he was short on good results. He joined the factory Peugeot squad for 1992 and 1993,and he managed to finish 2nd at Brands Hatch in 1993.Steve Soper had made a forceful move on him on the last lap,but was given a penalty and placed in third. He didn't have a drive in 1994, and returned a year later as an independent driver. Despite occasionally humbling the manufacturer teams
