Peter Higham

Database curator

A Ronnie Peterson fan from the moment he saw the 1973 International Trophy on TV, Higham joined Autosport's advertising department in 1986. The next 28 years were spent working (almost exclusively) within the company's motor racing division, including being a director of LAT and running the Autosport Awards. Freelance since 2014, Higham's four published books include the World Encyclopaedia of Racing Drivers.
