Although family connections smoothed a swift path to Formula 2, Bernard de Dryver was unable to sustain a career in international single-seaters.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Early racing career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He cut his teeth on bikes from 1968 before switching to Formula Vee four years later. Third in Belgian touring cars with an Opel Commodore, de Dryver had loftier ambitions.rnrnHis father was the Belgian importer of Bang &amp; Olufsen Hi-Fi at the time and sponsored his son\u2019s F2 graduation in 1975. It was a big step for the 23-year-old initially struggled to qualify Brian Lewis\u2019s Team Michel Vaillant March-BMW. But he finished fifth (and last) at Rouen-les-Essarts to score championship points. Fourth at the non-championship 1976 Eifelrennen at the N\u00fcrburgring, he continued to struggle when F2 points were at stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Formula 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Undeterred by his limited success so far, de Dryver hired Brian Henton\u2019s March 761-Ford for the 1977 Belgian GP but, predictably, he failed to qualify.<\/p>\n<p>B&amp;O funded his third season in F2 that year before a final campaign with Bob Salisbury\u2019s March 782 in 1978. He rarely showed the required pace but tested an Ensign at Zolder in preparation for another GP attempt. However, that Belga cigarettes-funded deal fell through at the 11th hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>British Formula 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Four underwhelming F2 years had left de Dryver without funding for his next move, so he rented his elderly March to punters to have some fun in the winter. One such wealthy client owned Harksound Hi-Fi and agreed to fund de Dryver\u2019s move to the British F1 Championship in 1979. The Belgian\u2019s RAM Racing Fittipaldi F5A-Ford was consistently in the top six including three second-places as de Dryver came fourth in the standings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Touring cars and endurance racing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Plans to join Shadow for the 1980 World Championship failed to materialise and his single-seater career, a one-off Formula 3000 DNQ in 1988 apart, was over. He was Team Manager for AGS in F2 during 1981 and turned to national touring cars and international sports cars for his own driving career. The highlight of that period was his second-place finish in the 1987 Le Mans 24 Hours when sharing an Oberma\u00efer Racing Porsche 962 with Pierre Yver and J\u00fcrgen Laessig.<\/p>\n<p>De Dryver raced in the 2003 FIA GT Championship and subsequent national events but his own racing appearances are limited to historic events. He has property interests in Malta, runs a racing team in Belgium and restores historic racing cars.<\/p>\n\n                            <div class=\"expanding-content__buttons\">\n
