Judging from Follmer’s first couple of races in 1973, he was destined for big things in GP racing. However, it was not to be. He did the most difficult, scoring points in his first two races, including a podium finish, in a brand new car, and then his performance dropped. Almost 40 when the raced for Shadow in 1973, Follmer had won the prestigious Can Am championship the year before. He had been very successful in US racing, and was hired by Shadow for its first assault in the GP world. He finished 6th in South Africa and an amazing 3rd in Spain, and qualified a competitive 11th in Belgium, but the rest of the year was all heart aches. Follmer decided it was not worth the trouble, and went back acing in the USA, doing Trans Am and Can Am racing well into the 80’s.
