Dan Gurney has passed away at the age of 86 due to complications from pneumonia, his family has confirmed.

In 1966 he turned his hand to being a constructor, forming Eagle and All American Racers with whom he won the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix.
In a statement, his family has said: “In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Hoag Hospital Foundation in Newport Beach, CA.
“For those that want to express their sentiments, please write a note to [email protected].”
