David Rowland John Morgan (7 August 1944 – 6 November 2018)<ref name="Motor Sport Magazine">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> was a British racing driver from England. He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix, the 1975 British Grand Prix in which, like several others, he crashed during a storm in the closing laps. He was classified 18th and thus scored no championship points.

Driving career

Prior to his single grand prix entry, Morgan raced a Mini in the mid-1960s, and soon moved on to Formula Three. He incurred a 12-month ban for dangerous driving at the end of 1970, after a last corner collision with James Hunt at Crystal Palace, but was subsequently allowed to progress to Formula Atlantic in 1971.<ref name ="ReferenceA">Template:Cite book</ref> This was followed by two seasons in Formula Two, then a return to Formula Atlantic. After his one Grand Prix, he retired from racing until returning in the British Saloon Car Championship in 1980–1981, driving a Mitsubishi Colt Lancer.<ref name ="ReferenceA"/> Morgan also later worked as an engineer to Eric van de Poele, in both Formula One and Formula 3000.<ref name ="ReferenceA"/>

He died on 6 November 2018, following a stroke.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
