Dennis Leech

Dennis Herbert Leech (born 6 April 1943 in Sidmouth) is a British former racing driver. Most of his racing career was spent driving saloon cars, mainly as a privateer in the British Touring Car Championship. He also entered selected rounds of the British Formula One Championship between 1978 and 1980. His most competitive years in the BTCC came in the 1980s, where he was often a front runner in his Class A 3.5 litre Rover Vitesse. In 1987 he finished as runner-up in his class, finishing sixth overall in his ageing Rover. His final year in the BTCC came in 1992, entering his own-built Ford Sierra.

He was the record holder for the longest period between wins in the BTCC, with nearly 18 years between his first two wins in 1969 and his last win in 1987, until Rob Huff broke this record in 2024. Provided by Wikipedia
