Here are several I found at SAE INTERNATIONAL:
Peter Bryant (Veteran automotive engineer, now on speaking tour)
?Bryant, 66, began his career in auto racing in 1957 working for Lotus
cars. He then went into Formula One racing as an engineer/mechanic for
several well-known drivers, including two world champions. In 1964 he
moved to the United States from Great Britain to work on the redesign
of Indianapolis-style cars.
He later went to work for the Shelby Cobra team that won the 1965
world racing championship. The highlight of his career was the design
of the Titanium Ti22 cars raced in the Can-Am sports car series from
1969-72. Bryant?s lecture will focus on the design of those cars.
In 1973 Bryant retired from active participation in racing and became
an independent automotive design and engineering consultant. In 1995
he was named director of engineering for Shelby American and designed
the concept Shelby Series One car that was recently built at Las Vegas
Motor Speedway.
Working now as an independent automotive engineering consultant, his
most recent projects include the design of the Concept Shelby Series1
sports car and a trophy truck for racing in the Baja 2000 by Collins
Racing of Las Vegas. Recently he invented a new stabilizer technology
for Amtech Corp.?
