SINGAPORE - Rodney Seow loved fast cars and the thrill of racing and made history by winning the 1967 Singapore Grand Prix but amongst his greatest traits was his humility.
Seow's victory remains the last time a Singaporean has won the Singapore Grand Prix. The annual race was discontinued after 1973 before it returned as part of the Formula One World Championship in 2008 and shifted to the Marina Bay Street Circuit. After Seow stopped racing in 1967, he ran a car assembly plant in Johor where he hired workers directly from trade school and developed their skills.
"He's a very good driver as he could overtake people even along narrow roads in the circuit," said Netto, 79."A lot of younger people used to go to him and ask how to get into racing.In 2012, Seow attended an F1 event here alongside British star Lewis Hamilton, now a six-time world champion. The latter presented Seow with a customised Johnnie Walker race helmet, in recognition of Seow's contributions to Singapore's racing scene.
