His first experiences in cars were with a Mini in 1967 but it was racing a Ford Anglia that the down-to-earth Midlander made his name. Title success in the 1970 Special Saloon Car Championship brought him to the attention of local builder Tom Wheatcroft.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Formula 3 success<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Together they plotted Williamson\u2019s graduation to single-seaters with a switch to Formula 3 in 1971 and a new March 713M-Ford. Williamson clinched the Lombank British F3 title at the first attempt and was also runner-up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/dave-walker\/\">Dave Walker<\/a> in the Shell and Forward Trust-sponsored championships. His promise was recognised with the Grovewood Award at the end of the year \u2013 a \u00a31,000 prize for the most promising Commonwealth driver of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Another year in F3 confirmed Williamson as one of the country\u2019s brightest prospects \u2013 winning two of the three British championships having switched from GRD to March 723. He tested a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/teams\/british-racing-motors\/\">BRM<\/a> P180 during the close season before a full Formula 2 season in 1973 with Wheatcroft\u2019s GRD 273. It was only when they switched to a March 732-BMW that his promise was allowed to flourish. He qualified on pole position for the Monza Lotteria but crashed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/drivers\/vittorio-brambilla\/\">Vittorio Brambilla<\/a> at the start of the second heat. However, he recovered from the back of the field to win his first international race.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-135674 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-660x371.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-165x93.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-82x46.jpg 82w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-658x370.jpg 658w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-329x185.jpg 329w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-172x97.jpg 172w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.motorsportmagazine.com\/database\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/12\/Roger-Williamson-March-600x338.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Formula 1 with March<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Williamson was a Formula 1 driver two weeks later.
